Question

Write out random letters using random range. Using the commands:

mov eax, 26
call random range (in the Irvine library)
An array made up of all the letters in the alphabet. Write out a 4 x 4 matrix that prints out 16 random letters taken from an alphabet matrix you created.

Answer 1

The question involves using assembly language with the Irvine Library to create a 4 x 4 matrix of random letters from the alphabet. The method entails initializing the random range, generating random indexes, and accessing an alphabet array 16 times to print the matrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student has asked how to use the random range command in combination with the Irvine Library to generate a 4 x 4 matrix of random letters. The solution involves creating an array representing all the letters of the alphabet, then using the mov and call assembly language commands to repeatedly generate random indexes into this array.

First, create the alphabet array, from 'A' to 'Z' (or 'a' to 'z'). Then, the following pseudocode can be used to generate the random matrix:

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  

It's important to note that each 'call' to random range would need to be followed by an additional logic to translate the index to the corresponding character in the array and to format the output into a matrix.
