a.

Decimal numbers:

  • A decimal number is a number in which the whole number part and the fractional part is separated by a decimal point.
  • The dot is known as a decimal point of a decimal number.
  • Hence decimal numeral system is a method for representing both integer and non-integer numbers.

Octal numbers:

  • Octal number system is also known as base 8 number system and uses the digits 0 to 7.
  • These are made from binary numerals by grouping consecutive binary digits into three groups starting from the right.
  • Octal numbers also make it easy to write large binary numbers into smaller groups.

Explanation of Solution

b.

Conversion of decimal number 321 into octal value:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 321 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 40 as quotient and 1 as remainder.
  • Now divide 40 by 8 and it returns 5 as quotient and 0 as remainder.
  • Now divide 5 by 8 and it is not possible as 5 is less than 8...

Explanation of Solution

c.

Conversion of decimal number 1492 into octal number:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 1492 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 186 as quotient and 4 as remainder.
  • Now divide 186 by 8 and it returns 23 as quotient and 2 as remainder.
  • Now divide 23 by 8 and it returns 2 as quotient and 7 as remainder...

Explanation of Solution

d.

Conversion of decimal number 1066 into octal number:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 1066 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 133 as quotient and 2 as remainder.
  • Now divide 133 by 8 and it returns 16 as quotient and 5 as remainder.
  • Now divide 16 by 8 and it returns 2 as quotient and 0 as remainder...

Explanation of Solution

e.

Conversion of decimal number 2001 into octal number:

  • Since it is octal, divide the number 2001 by 8 repeatedly. It returns 250 as quotient and 1 as remainder.
  • Now divide 250 by 8 and it returns 31 as quotient and 2 as remainder.
  • Now divide 31 by 8 and it returns 3 as quotient and 7 as remainder...

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. .DATA 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, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
