EX2: Write a piece of assembly code that can count the number of ones in word stored at 4AE00h
Write a program that simulates a Magic 8 Ball, which is a fortune-telling toy that displays a random response to a yes or no question. In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 8_ball_responses.txt. The file contains 12 responses, such as “I don’t think so”, “Yes, of course!”, “I’m not sure”, and so forth. The program should read the responses from the file into a list. It should prompt the user to ask a question, then display one of the responses, randomly selected from the list. The program should repeat until the user is ready to quit. Contents of 8_ball_responses.txt:  Yes, of course! Without a doubt, yes. You can count on it. For sure! Ask me later. I'm not sure. I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you after my nap. No way! I don't think so. Without a doubt, no. The answer is clearly NO.
