Question # 3:


What's the best Assembler?




NASM Assembler or the Netwide Assembler is the best assembler for me. It is considered as the most popular assembler for Linux and is the second most popular overall.It is originally written by Simon Tatham with assistance from Julian Hall, and is currently maintained by a small team led by H. Peter Anvin.


It can output several binary formats.The variety of output formats allows one to retarget programs to virtually any x86 operating system.

-DEVICE DRIVERS -a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.

Bootloaders

my Mcs213!

Question #1:

Question:What topic(s) in MCS 213 do you find easy and/or difficult and why?

Answer:

Mcs213 is a subject for me that i thought i would have a hard time understanding it!

But fortunately, I enjoyed being enrolled in this subject! Ofcourse, there are some topics that i find easy, and some were horrible for me!

The lecture schedule of this class is an easy part for me! I can easily understand every topic since it is well explained to us by ma'am lim. The number system was one of the most easiest topic we had. I had fun! As well as the addition and subtraction of the different number system.



On the other hand, the laboratory schedule of the class was really a burden for me! I really find it so hard working with our programs using the c language! i actually never had a program that was right and appropriate. It's really getting in to my nerves! But as time goes by, I had slightly understand how was the program made and i learned from it!





Generally, Mcs 213 is a great and challenging subject for me that i know it would really be of a great help in my chosen course!
