Terry is writing an assembly subroutine to divide two integers and return a value. Which statement is true? Both values must be passed as floating point numbers, either typecast or directly. Both values can be typecast and passed as floating point values, or passed directly and converted to floating point values in the assembly code. Both values can be passed as is, with assembly calculating the result as an integer. The assembly code will divide the values, but if they divide unevenly the result will be incorrect, just as it would be in C.
