last value to be added to, or pushed on, the top of stack.

False
If the LOOP instruction sets ECX to zero, a jump to the destination label does take place.
True
Mechanically speaking, the CALL instruction pushes its return address on the stack and copies the called procedure's address into the instruction pointer.
Fetch, Decode, Execute
Place the 3 major steps of the Instruction Execution Cycle in the correct order.
mov eax,dword1 neg eax mov ebx,edx sub ebx,ecx add eax,ebx inc eax
Select the answer choice that best implements the following expression. Do not permit dword1, ECX, or EDX to be modified: eax = -dword1 + (edx - ecx) + 1 neg dword1 mov ebx,edx sub ebx,ecx add eax,ebx inc eax mov eax,dword1 neg eax mov ebx,edx sub ebx,ecx add eax,ebx inc eax mov eax,dword1 neg eax sub edx,ecx add eax,edx inc eax mov eax,dword1 mov edx,ebx sub ebx,ecx add eax,ebx inc eax
for (k = 0; k < a; k++) print (no);
Select the pseudo-code that most closely corresponds to the following assembly code. Assume that the variables a, b, c, and d are initialized elsewhere in the program. .data ; General purpose variables a DWORD ? b DWORD ? c BYTE ? d BYTE ? upperLevel DWORD 18 lowerLevel DWORD 3 ; Strings yes BYTE "Yes",0 no BYTE "No",0 maybe BYTE "Maybe",0 .code main PROC mov eax, 0 mov ebx, a startLoop: cmp eax, ebx jge endOfProgram mov edx, OFFSET no call WriteString inc eax jmp startLoop mov edx, OFFSET maybe call WriteString endOfProgram: exit main ENDP END main while (a > 0) print (no); while (a < 18) print (no); else print (maybe); if (a < b) print (no); else print (maybe); for (k = 0; k < a; k++) print (no);

Suppose that result is declared as DWORD, and the following MASM code is executed: mov eax,17 mov ebx,13 mov ecx,6 label5: add eax,ebx add ebx,2 loop label5 mov result,eax What is the value stored in the memory location named result?
True
The MOVSX instruction sign-extends an integer into a larger operand.
True
The MOVZX instruction is only used with unsigned integers.

False
The following instructions will set the Carry flag: mov al,0FEh sub al,2

PUSH CALL RET POP
The instructions used to manipulate the ESP regieter are (select all that apply): INC PUSH CALL DEC RET JNE POP
1, 2, 3, 4
There are several important uses of runtime stacks in programs (select all that apply): 1. When the CALL instruction executes, the CPU saves the current subroutine's return address on the stack. 2. When calling a subroutine, you pass input values called arguments by pushing them on the stack. 3. A stack makes a convenient temporary save area for registers when they are used for more than one purpose. After they are modified, they can be restored to their original values. 4. The stack provides temporary storage for local variables inside subroutines.

2. It decrements the stack pointer (by 2 or 4) and copies the operand into the stack at the location pointed to by the stack pointer.
Which of the following is true about the PUSH instruction? 1. It increments the stack pointer by 1 and copies the operand into the stack at the location pointed to by the stack pointer. 2. It decrements the stack pointer (by 2 or 4) and copies the operand into the stack at the location pointed to by the stack pointer. 3. It copies the operand into the stack at the location pointed to by the stack pointer, and then decrements the stack pointer (by 2 or 4). 4. It increments the stack pointer (by 2 or 4) and copies the operand into the stack at the location pointed to by the stack pointer.
