Explanation of Solution
Capabilities of Backus’s 701 Speedcoding system:
John Backus developed the Speedcoding system for IBM 701 in 1954. The capacities of Backus’s 701 Speedcoding system are as follows:
- The Speedcoding system is an interpretive system mainly focused on simulating floating-point operations.
- The implementation of Speedcoding system in IBM’s 701 virtually converted it into floating point calculator.
- Speedcoding system contains instructions for the basic arithmetic operations on floating point data (+, -, *, /).
- It also provides operators to find square root, sine, tangent, exponent and logarithm.
- It contains conditional and unconditional branches.
- It provides convenient means for inputting data to the system and giving back outputs.
- Speedcoding includes the address format of automatic incrementing address registers and because of this; matrix multiplication could be easily completed in 12 Speedcoding instructions...

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in
lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space
character and the string ends with a full stop "." character.
Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname
to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters.
The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However,
you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program.

S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid."
NAME DB 20 DUP(?)
SNAME DB 20 DUP(?)
Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters
are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters,
bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example,

The alarm does nothing while it is disarmed (‘switched off’). It canbe armed (‘switched on’) by entering a PIN on the keypad. Whenever thealarm is armed, it can be disarmed by entering the PIN on the keypad.If motion is detected while the alarm is armed, the siren should sound AND asingle SMS message sent to the police to notify them. Further motion shouldnot result in more messages being sent. If the siren is sounding, it can only bedisarmed by entering the PIN on the keypad. Once the alarm is disarmed, asingle SMS should be sent to the police to notify them.Two (active-high) input signals are provided to the controller:MOTION: Asserted while motion is detected inside the home.PIN: Asserted for a single clock cycle whenever the PIN has beencorrectly entered on the keypad.The controller must provide two (active-high) outputs:SIREN: The siren sounds while this output is asserted.POLICE: One SMS…arrow_forward
