Challenge Projects

Test your skills with these advanced assembly programming challenges.

Project 1: Fibonacci Sequence

Calculate the first 10 Fibonacci numbers and store them in memory.

Project 2: Bubble Sort

Implement bubble sort to order values stored in memory locations 0-9.

Project 3: Prime Number Check

Determine if a number in R0 is prime. Set R1 to 1 if prime, 0 otherwise.

Project 4: Greatest Common Divisor

Implement Euclid's algorithm to find GCD of two numbers.

Project 5: String Length

Count characters stored in memory until hitting a zero value.

Example: Factorial Calculator

// Calculate factorial of R0\nMOV R0, #5       // Input number\nMOV R1, #1       // Result accumulator\nMOV R2, #1       // Counter\n// Loop starts at line 4\nCMP R2, R0       // Compare counter with input\nBGT 8            // If counter > input, done\nMUL R1, R1, R2   // result *= counter\nADD R2, R2, #1   // counter++\nB 4              // Loop back\n// R1 now contains factorial\nHALT

Tips for Advanced Programming

Break complex problems into smaller steps
Draw flowcharts before coding
Test with simple cases first
Use memory to store intermediate results
Comment your algorithm clearly
