Exam Descrip on
This exam is based on the second part of Workshop 07 – Virtual Machine Translation (https://myuni.adelaide.edu.au/courses/54311/pages/workshop-07-virtual-machine-translation) .
You will be required to write an implementation for one or more Hack Virtual Machine commands in Hack Assembly language. The startup files will provide the same testing tools as used in Workshop 07 but you will not be required to do any C++ programming. Instead you will be required to create a separate file of Assembly Language for each Virtual Machine command that you will be asked to implement.
You will need to create 10 question files that must be named question01.vm-asm, question02.vm-asm and so on. Each question file will start with either one or two Virtual Machine commands. You will be asked to implement the last command in each file by appending lines of Hack Assembler to the file. The web submission script will check the names of the files and that they start with the correct question.
The specific Virtual Machine commands that you will be asked to implement will be incrementally revealed to you by the web submission system as you complete each question in the exam. Once a particular command has been successfully implemented, the web submission system will show you the next three questions. The questions do not need to be completed in order.
In those cases where you need to use jump instructions, you need to know the name of the function that the command is part of so that you can construct the correct label names. To facilitate this, some of the question files will start with a function command and its implementation.
