a.

Program Plan Intro

Test and set Instruction:

  • The “TEST” instruction works same as “AND” instruction except that condition codes are been set without destination alteration.
  • Either same operand is been repeated or one operands denotes mask that indicates which bits should be tested.
  • The “testq” instruction performs test on quad word.
  • The condition codes can be used by setting a single byte to 0 or 1 based on condition codes combination.
  • The “SET” instruction has destination as either one of single byte register that has low order elements or a memory location that is single byte.
  • The “setge” instruction denotes a set condition of “Greater than or equal to”.

  • Either same operand is been repeated or one operands denotes mask that indicates which bits should be tested.
  • The “testb” instruction performs test on byte.
  • The ordering relations between operands could be determined using other flags.
  • The condition codes can be used by setting a single byte to 0 or 1 based on condition codes combination.
  • The “SET” instruction has destination as either one of single byte register that has low order elements or a memory location that is single byte.
  • The “seta” instruction denotes a set condition of “unsigned above or greater than”.

  • The “TEST” instruction works same as “AND” instruction except that condition codes are been set without destination alteration.
  • Either same operand is been repeated or one operands denotes mask that indicates which bits should be tested.
  • The “testl” instruction performs test on double word.
  • The ordering relations between operands could be determined using other flags.
  • The condition codes can be used by setting a single byte to 0 or 1 based on condition codes combination.
  • The “SET” instruction has destination as either one of single byte register that has low order elements or a memory location that is single byte.
  • The “setle” instruction denotes a set condition of signed “less than or equal to”.

Based on the given problem, create an algorithm and a block diagram, and write the program code: Function: y=xsin⁡x Interval: [0,π] Requirements: Create a graph of the function. Show the coordinates (x and y). Choose your own scale and show it in the block diagram. Create a block diagram based on the algorithm. Write the program code in Python. Requirements: Each step in the block diagram must be clearly shown. The graph of the function must be drawn and saved (in PNG format). Write the code in a modular way (functions and the main part should be separate). Please explain and describe the results in detail.
