2. MARIE (65 marks)

In this task you will develop a MARIE application that performs some manipulation of characters,

strings and numbers. We will break it down into small steps for you. Most of the tasks require

you to write code and test cases. The code must contain proper comments and well indented.

You submit it as .mas files together with the rest of your assignment. The test cases should also

be working, self-contained MARIE assembly files (without requiring much input from the user).

In-Class interviews: You will be required to demonstrate your code to your tutor after the

submission deadline. Failure to demonstrate will lead to “zero marks” being awarded to the

entire programming part of this assignment.

Background - Lists of data

This section introduces the concepts you need for the rest of the assignment. A string is a

sequence of characters. It’s the basic data structure for storing text in a computer. There are

several different ways of representing a string in memory and how to deal with strings of arbitrary

length.

For this assignment, we will use the following string representation:

● A string is represented in contiguous memory locations, with each address containing one

character.

● The characters are encoded using the ASCII encoding.

● End of a string is marked by the ASCII character ‘.’ (i.e. dot or full-stop).

● A string can be of any arbitrary length, and will be terminated by a ’.’, and it may contain

any of the following: alphabets (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), ASCII Space Character (Hex

020) and New Line (Hex 00A).

Here is an example. A string “Dong Satria.” will be represented in memory (written as

hexadecimal numbers):

044 06F 06E 067 020 053 061 074 072 069 061 02E

D o n g S a t r i a .

Note that, in the above example, for a string with 10 characters, we need (10+2) words of MARIE

memory in order to store all the characters belonging to that string (including a space and a ‘.’

characters).

In MARIE assembly language programming, we can make use of the ADR command, the HEX

keyword and a label “myString” to put this string into memory:

myString, HEX 044 /’D’

HEX 06E /’n’

HEX 067 /’g’

HEX 020 /Space

HEX 053 /’S’

HEX 061 /’a’

HEX 074 /’t’

HEX 072 /’r’

HEX 069 /’i’

HEX 061 /’a’

HEX 02E /’.’

2.1. Your name as a MARIE string (5 marks)

The following example of a MARIE string “myString” encodes a name and an ID using ASCII

characters. The “name” is separated from the ID by an ASCII character “Hex 00A” (New Line).

Different parts of a name are separated by another ASCII character “Hex 020” (Space). And the

entire string, consisting of a name and an ID, is terminated by a dot ‘.’ character.

Please see the example below. The label “myStringAddr” holds the address of the first character

of the string. You need to follow this MARIE string while solving the task given below.

myStringAddr, ADR myString

myString, HEX 044 /’D’

Prepare a MARIE program to encode a string that includes your full name (first name and last

name) and your student ID using ASCII characters. Following the above example, you need to

use two labels, one label (e.g. “myString”) to store the first character of the string, and another

label (e.g. “myStringAddr”) to store the address of the first character of the same string.

You need to submit a MARIE file that contains codes, using the ADR command and HEX

keywords (like the above example), so that after assembling, your name, ID and the address

(of the first character of the string) is stored in MARIE memory. The codes must be accompanied

by appropriate comments (as a paragraph before any block of code or subroutine or as inline

comments wherever appropriate).

2.2. Printing string (10 marks)

Prepare a MARIE program that can print the ASCII ‘.’ terminated string of your name and your

student ID that you have implemented in task 2.1. You may use the “Output” instruction to print

characters in the MARIE output space. The program should be able to print any string that

terminated with ‘.’.

Hint: In your program, you need to use a label “myString” that holds the start address of the

string (like, myStringAddr) that you want to print. Then, you should load a character from the

address “myString”, print the character, then increment the address by one, and keep doing that

up to the character loaded from the address is a ‘.’ (which signals the end of the string). The

output may look similar to the output below. The codes must be accompanied by appropriate

comments (as a paragraph before any block of code or subroutine or as inline comments

wherever appropriate).

2.3 Subroutines to print a string and Calculate a Numerology (Expression Number)

(25 marks)

Numerology is a belief system that suggests the numerical value of a name can influence

various aspects of personality and professional development. The number associated with a

name is often referred to as the 'Expression number'. To calculate this number, each letter in

the name is assigned a unique number from 1 to 26, following this key:

A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10,

K=11, L=12, M=13, N=14, O=15, P=16, Q=17, R=18,

S=19, T=20, U=21, V=22, W=23, X=24, Y=25, Z=26.

This method can be implemented with any name, assuming that all the letters are capital

letters, and there are no special characters except spaces.

To find your Numerology or Expression number, follow these steps:

1. Write out the string (usually a name) for which you want to determine the Numerology

or Expression number.

2. Match each letter in the string to its corresponding number using the key.

3. Add together all of the numbers associated with the letters in the string.

4. Reduce the sum of the string numbers:

a. If the sum is two digits, repeatedly add together the two digits until you get a single

digit.

b. If the sum is greater than 2 digits, reduce the number to two digits by adding

together the digits repeatedly until you get either one digit or two digits

Example1:

M O N A S H

13 15 14 1 19 8

13 + 15 + 14 + 1 + 19 + 8 = 70

70 = 7 + 0 = 7

The Expression number = 7

Example2:

M O N A S H space C O L L E G E

13 15 14 1 19 8 3 15 12 12 5 7 5

13 + 15 + 14 + 1 + 19 + 8 + 3 + 15 + 12 + 12 + 5 + 7 + 5 = 129

129 = 1 + 2 + 9 = 12

The Expression number = 12

Create two MARIE subroutines: one named "subPrintString" to print a string terminated

with a period ('.'), and another named "subCountNumerology" to calculate the Expression

Number for the given string. These subroutines should follow these guidelines:

The subroutines should:

1. Print the string

2. On the second line, print the sum of the (Expression Number) before reducing it.

3. On the third line, print the Expression Number after the reduction.

2.4 Assembly Language and Machine Language (15 marks)

This task is for HD students

To get HD in this assignment you have to think again before ignoring this task

a. Write at least four differences between (at most 200 words):

i. Assembly Language

ii. Machine Language

b. Prepare a MARIE program that initialised with three values (X, Y and Z) then find and

print the result of (X+Y-Z) in:

i. Assembly Language

ii. Machine Language

Note: Assuming that the result is always between -9 and 9.

The codes must be accompanied by appropriate comments (as a paragraph before any block

of code or subroutine or as inline comments wherever appropriate). The code of the assemble

and the machine should be in one MARIE file called (AssemblyANDMachine).
