Final answer:
The code provided calculates the value of the expression 2AX + 3BX - 4(CX - AX) in Assembly language, where AX, BX, and CX are registers with initial values 2, 3, and 4 respectively. The result of the expression is stored in the DX register.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject is asking for Assembly code to calculate the value of the expression 2AX + 3BX - 4(CX - AX) and store the result in DX. The initial values for AX, BX, and CX are given as 2, 3, and 4 respectively. To solve this in Assembly, one approach is to perform the operations step by step. Here's a simple code snippet:
MOV AX, 2 ; Load AX with value 2
MOV BX, 3 ; Load BX with value 3
MOV CX, 4 ; Load CX with value 4
MOV DX, 0 ; Clear out DX to use for the result
; Calculate 2 * AX
SHL AX, 1 ; AX = AX * 2
ADD DX, AX ; DX = DX + AX
; Calculate 3 * BX
MOV AX, BX ; Move BX to AX for multiplication
SHL AX, 1 ; AX = AX * 2
ADD AX, BX ; AX = AX + BX
ADD DX, AX ; DX = DX + AX
; Calculate 4 * (CX - AX original)
MOV AX, 2 ; Restore original value of AX
SUB CX, AX ; CX = CX - AX
SHL CX, 2 ; CX = CX * 4
SUB DX, CX ; DX = DX - CX
This code segment calculates each term of the expression and updates DX with the intermediate results. The use of the SHL instruction is for multiplying by powers of 2 (since SHL is equivalent to multiplying by 2).
