Create a macro named mReadInt that reads a 16- or 32-bit signed integer from standard input and returns the value in an argument. Use conditional operators to allow the macro to adapt to the size of the desired result. Write a program that tests the macro, passing it operands of various sizes.

Answer:

;Macro mReadInt definition, which take two parameters

;one is the variable to save the number and other is the length

;of the number to read (2 for 16 bit and 4 for 32 bit) .

%macro mReadInt 2

mov eax,%2

cmp eax, "4"

je read2

cmp eax, "2"

je read1

read1:

mReadInt16 %1

cmp eax, "2"

je exitm

read2:

mReadInt32 %1

exitm:

xor eax, eax

%endmacro

;macro to read the 16 bit number, parameter is number variable

%macro mReadInt16 1

mov eax, 3

mov ebx, 2

mov ecx, %1

mov edx, 5

int 80h

%endmacro

;macro to read the 32 bit number, parameter is number variable

%macro mReadInt32 1

mov eax, 3

mov ebx, 2

mov ecx, %1

mov edx, 5

int 80h

%endmacro

;program to test the macro.

;data section, defining the user messages and lenths

section .data

userMsg db 'Please enter the 32 bit number: '

lenUserMsg equ $-userMsg

userMsg1 db 'Please enter the 16 bit number: '

lenUserMsg1 equ $-userMsg1

dispMsg db 'You have entered: '

lenDispMsg equ $-dispMsg

;.bss section to declare variables

section .bss

;num to read 32 bit number and num1 to rad 16-bit number

num resb 5

num1 resb 3

;.text section

section .text

;program start instruction

global _start

_start:

;Displaying the message to enter 32bit number

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, userMsg

mov edx, lenUserMsg

int 80h

;calling the micro to read the number

mReadInt num, 4

;Printing the display message

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, dispMsg

mov edx, lenDispMsg

int 80h

;Printing the 32-bit number

mov edx, 4

int 80h

;displaying message to enter the 16 bit number

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, userMsg1

mov edx, lenUserMsg1

int 80h

;macro call to read 16 bit number and to assign that number to num1

;mReadInt num1,2

;calling the display mesage function

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, dispMsg

mov edx, lenDispMsg

int 80h

;Displaying the 16-bit number

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, num1

mov edx, 2

int 80h

;exit from the loop

mov eax, 1

mov ebx, 0

int 80h

Step-by-step explanation:

For an assembly code/language that has the conditions given in the question, the program that tests the macro, passing it operands of various sizes is given below;

;Macro mReadInt definition, which take two parameters

;one is the variable to save the number and other is the length

;of the number to read (2 for 16 bit and 4 for 32 bit) .

%macro mReadInt 2

mov eax,%2

cmp eax, "4"

je read2

cmp eax, "2"

je read1

read1:

mReadInt16 %1

cmp eax, "2"

je exitm

read2:

mReadInt32 %1

exitm:

xor eax, eax

%endmacro

;macro to read the 16 bit number, parameter is number variable

%macro mReadInt16 1

mov eax, 3

mov ebx, 2

mov ecx, %1

mov edx, 5

int 80h

%endmacro

;macro to read the 32 bit number, parameter is number variable

%macro mReadInt32 1

mov eax, 3

mov ebx, 2

mov ecx, %1

mov edx, 5

int 80h

%endmacro

;program to test the macro.

;data section, defining the user messages and lenths

section .data

userMsg db 'Please enter the 32 bit number: '

lenUserMsg equ $-userMsg

userMsg1 db 'Please enter the 16 bit number: '

lenUserMsg1 equ $-userMsg1

dispMsg db 'You have entered: '

lenDispMsg equ $-dispMsg

;.bss section to declare variables

section .bss

;num to read 32 bit number and num1 to rad 16-bit number

num resb 5

num1 resb 3

;.text section

;program start instruction

;calling the micro to read the number

;Printing the display message

;Printing the 32-bit number

mov ecx, num

mov edx, 4

int 80h

;displaying message to enter the 16 bit number

int 80h

;Displaying the 16-bit number

mov eax, 4

int 80h

;exit from the loop

mov eax, 1

mov ebx, 0

int 80h
