Self-modifying code in LMC

Administrator — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 23:55:55 +0000

In computer science, self-modifying code is code that alters its own instructions while it is executing. Getting code that overwrites itself can seem dubious, rather risky and hence unrecommended. However in some cases, it is a technique that can be…

Stacks and Queues in LMC

Administrator — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 20:34:03 +0000

In this post we will investigate how to implement a queue and a stack data structure using low-level programming. We will use an upgraded version of Little Man Computer (LMC) that supports indirect addressing to to do. Implementing a Queue…

Assembly Language

Administrator — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 09:45:23 +0000

Assembly language is a low-level programming language. Each assembly language is specific to a particular computer architecture. Assembly language uses mnemonics to represent low-level machine instructions or opcodes. Many operations require one or more operands in order to form a…

Step Count Algorithm in LMC

Administrator — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 13:18:47 +0000

Count-controlled loops are used in many programs to increment a counter for each iteration of the loop. Per default the increment for the counter is +1. FOR counter FROM 1 TO 10: OUTPUT (COUNTER) However you can specify a different…
