Assembler Language Concepts and Functions

An intensive survey of the major features of assembler language and computer principles of operations. Students will code and test programs designed to develop skills in the topical areas of fixed point binary arithmetic, binary shifting, subroutine linkages, indexing and table lookup, logical operations, sequential I/O macros, data translation, decimal arithmetic, and data conversion. Additional topics such as floating point arithmetic, channel programming, interrupts, and debugging are discussed.
