Simple PIC18F452 Assembly Language Programs

Do NOT hand this assignment in. No demonstration required.

1. Write the code for the following program segment. Assume the tests use unsigned arithmetic. Verify your program works by doing exhaustive path testing. In other words, run the program sufficient times to demonstrate each of the possible paths through the program segment. Remember to consider the case when the program segment is not executed.
   
   

   IF K = 1 THEN
        A <- A + 1
   ELSE
        IF K = 2 THEN
             B <- B + 1
        ELSE
             C <- C + 1
        END IF
   END IF
   
   

   For the following questions, use literal addressing to first load up a series of memory locations with the required data and then manipulate it as specified.
   
   
2. Write a program to find the smallest number in a list of unsigned numbers. Assume the length of the list is provided.
   
   
3. Write a program to determine the number of zero, positive, and negative elements in a series of signed numbers. Assume the length of the list is provided.
   
   
4. Write a program to calculate the checksum of a series of 8-bit numbers. The checksum is formed by doing an exclusive OR of all the numbers in the list. For example, if the series had three numbers: $28, $55, and $26, the checksum would be formed by $28 XOR $55 XOR $26. The checksum for the example would be $5B. Assume the length of the list is provided.
   
   
5. Write a program to determine which element in a series of 8-bit numbers has the largest number of bits that are one. Assume the list is null terminated.
