Row order location of an element

From slide 13 of section 6 IV

In row order, the location of ai,j in Amxn is

Base + (i*n+j)*element_size

Note this will get you to the first field within that element. If you want to get to an element that is part of that element then you also need to offset to locate that as well.

Homework 4 Program assignment

I've been working on the programming part of homework 4 most of today and have found that completing a flow chart of what the program needs to do to be very helpful.

Thank

Absolutely, I am part of the team. and I will take advantage of that resource.
Thank you for your creativity, too many of you would make the world a better place.

Thank you

ADD

ADD. requires that either the source or destination operands be a data register. (Size being B, W or L).

The instruction executes the corresponding arithmetic operation for a fixed-length binary number of the selected size.

B being Byte which is 8 bits 0-7
W being Word which is 16 bits 0-15
L being Long word which is 32 bits 0-31
