Computer Organization & Assembly Language Mid Term 2020-Resit Students

This document contains a midterm examination for a Computer Organization and Assembly Language course. It consists of 4 questions assessing various topics: 1. Multiple choice questions testing concepts like file types produced by a linker, virtual address ranges, overflow in unsigned addition, and assembly instruction examples. 2. Questions involving converting between binary, hexadecimal, and decimal representations of numbers, writing assembly code for bitwise operations, and explaining shifting a register arithmetic right 31 times. 3. Questions explaining assembly addressing modes, variants of the mov instruction, and representing floating point numbers in IEEE 754 standard format. 4. A question explaining the working of a simple C function and its equivalent assembly code, including drawing the initial stack
