Answer 1

operation, result, 1st operand, 2nd operand

Question 2

what are the places we store values called

Answer 2

registers

Question 3

Answer 3

ADD

Question 4

to move registers use the function

Answer 4

MOV

Question 5

which coding language is as close as possible to machine code while still readable by humans

Answer 5

assembly language

Question 6

how does programming code like c, java get to being machine code

Answer 6

translation

Question 7

what is an operator

Answer 7

the instruction

Question 8

what is an operand

Answer 8

values

Question 9

what program translates from assembly language into machine code

Answer 9

assembler program

Question 10

what type of relationship is there between machine code and assembly language

Answer 10

1-1 ie, in java, many operations can lead to 1 machine code instruction where as assembly language is more 1-1

Question 11

how to assign an immediate value to a register

Answer 11

MOV R3, #0

Question 12

operator for multiplication

Answer 12

MUL

Question 13

operator for load register

Answer 13

LDR

Question 14

Why is it better to use load register than an immediate value

Answer 14

larger values can be assigned using ldr

Question 15

what will happen if the value you used in immediate value and MOV is too big

Answer 15

an error message

Question 16

what is the initial values of registers

Answer 16

They have none, should assig them with a value even if its just 0

Question 17

what does it mean to provide meaningful comments on code

Answer 17

eg what the contents of the registers are, as if someone else will have to read and understand it

Question 18

can immediate values be used in multiplication

Answer 18

no, must be loaded onto a register first

Question 19
