Machine Code, Assembly Language and the Pseudo-Computer
Machine Code, Assembly Language and the Pseudo-Computer
I can comprehend that Machine Code equates to binary: 1’s and0’s. I can also comprehend that Assembly Language READ, WRITE; etc (a 2nd Generation Language) uses assemblers to convert information to Machine Code. The Pseudo-Computer, however, still blows my mind. Unfortunately, not in a positive fashion either. I watched the online video a couple times and really felt I had the hang of how things should work. I figured out the basic read/write. I figured out how to add a couple numbers together. I was pumped up and ready, so I thought. Then, I tried counting down first following the video program. It worked so I began changing around RAM locations and Register locations. I kept failing, over and over. I would end up getting: OUTPUT: 0 or OUTPUT:1 and OUTPUT: Nan and of course the favorite of all Locking up the browser. I could not figure out what I was doing incorrectly. I know I totally failed on the counting up lab question because I couldn’t seem to figure out what exactly I needed to do to make it stop counting. I’m frustrated with this assignment, mostly, because I really want to comprehend what I am doing but can’t. I hope to eventually get this Pseudo-Computer sussed out. Cheers!
