For the purposes of this question, please assume the following declarations have been made. theArray : int8[ 12 ] := [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ];theSize : int8 := 12; Based on the implementation shown above, Pam the Programmer is trying to invoke this procedure.  Which of the following options correctly accomplish this task? A. push( theArray );mov( 0, ECX );mov( theSize, CL );push( ECX );call incrementArray; B. push( theArray );mov( 0, CX );mov( theSize, CL );push( CX );call incrementArray; C. mov( &theArray, EAX );push( EAX );mov( 0, CX );mov( theSize, CL );push( CX );call incrementArray; D. mov( &theArray, EAX );push( EAX );mov( 0, ECX );mov( theSize, CL );push( ECX );call incrementArray; E. mov( &theArray, EAX );push( [ EAX ] );mov( 0, ECX );mov( theSize, CL );push( ECX );call incrementArray; F. mov( &theArray, EAX );push( [ EAX ] );mov( 0, CX );mov( theSize, CL );push( CX );call incrementArray;

The stringProgram code is missing an additional set of instruction(s).  What are they and what is the effect of not having it?

Pam the Programmer has declared the variable anArray as follows: anArray : int16[ 5 ] := [ 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ]; Now she wants to execute the following C statement with HLA Assembly instructions:      anArray[ 4 ] = anArray[ 0 ]; What code correctly accomplishes that task?

The next few questions deal with the following program and its implementation.  Some of the code is identified with line numbers that will be referenced in later questions. program StringProgram;#include( “stdlib.hhf” );#include( “cs17string.hla” ); static stringData : dword;procedure xOut( stringData : dword; searchFor : byte ); @nodisplay; @noframe;static dReturnAddress : dword; dECXRegister : dword; dEBXRegister : dword; data : byte := ‘x’; // line 1begin xOut; mov( ECX, dECXRegister ); mov( EBX, dEBXRegister ); pop( dReturnAddress ); pop( CX ); mov( CL, searchFor ); pop( stringData ); push( dReturnAddress ); push( dEBXRegister ); push( dECXRegister ); mov( stringData, EBX ); mov( data, CL );bodyLoop: mov( [ EBX ], CH ); cmp( CH, 0 ); // line 4 je endLoop; cmp( CH, searchFor ); je foundIt; jmp incEBX;foundIt: mov( CL, [ EBX ] ); jmp endLoop;   // line 2incEBX: inc( EBX ); jmp bodyLoop;endLoop: pop( ECX ); pop( EBX );ret();end xOut;begin StringProgram; stdout.put( “Please enter a string to process”, nl );mov( @size( byte ), AL );mov( 80, BL );inc( BL );mul( BL );mov( 0, EBX );mov( AX, BX );malloc( EBX );mov( EAX, stringData );mov( &stringData, EBX );push( EBX );mov( 80, CX );  push( CX );       // line 3call gets;// print the stringstdout.put( “—-> here is the string you entered: ” );push( stringData );call puts;stdout.newln();mov( &stringData, EBX );push( EBX );mov( 0, CX );mov( ‘h’, CL );push( CX );call xOut;stdout.put( “—-> here is the string after calling xOut: ” );mov( &stringData, EBX );push( EBX );call puts;stdout.newln();end StringProgram;
