Question 1

If you are using an integer constant in one of your CS271 programs, which constant method must you use?
* =
* EQU
* TEXTEQU

Answer 1

=

Question 2

The EQU directive permits a constant to be redefined at any point in a program.
True / False

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Which of the following statements correctly makes a constant integer defining a maximum integer value of 365?
EQU MAXVAL = 365
MAXVAL = 365
MAXVAL DWORD 365
MAXVAL EQU <MOV EAX, 365>

Answer 3

MAXVAL = 365

Question 4

What is the minimum size of a data type, in bytes, to be impacted by system endianness. (Whole numbers only)

Answer 4

2

Question 5

The byte-ordering scheme which stores integers in memory with the most significant byte at the lowest address (first) is called:
byte-major
big endian
byte-minor
little endian

Answer 5

big endian

Question 6

System endianness will impact the ordering (indexing) of elements in an array.
True / False

Answer 6

False

Question 7

The byte-ordering scheme which stores integers in memory with the least significant byte at the lowest (first) address is called:
* little endian
* big endian
* byte minor
* byte major

Answer 7

little endian

Question 8

Strings (BYTE arrays) are stored in the same order regardless of system endianness.
True / False

Answer 8

True

Question 9

An IEEE 754 Floating Point value contains three components: a sign, a normalized mantissa, and an biased exponent.
True / False

Answer 9

True

Question 10

The number 17.3 can be represented exactly in IA-32 Floating Point Unit 32-bit IEEE 754 format.
True / False

Answer 10

False
