int num;
int main () {
scanf("%d", &num);

return 0;

 

please what is the assembly code for this?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:

Here is an example of an x86 assembly language program that corresponds to the given C program:

 

section .data
    num dd 0

section .bss
    input resd 1

section .text
    global _start

_start:
    ; Read integer into num
    mov eax, 3 ; system call number for scanf
    mov ebx, 0 ; file descriptor 0 (stdin)
    mov ecx, input ; address of buffer to hold input
    mov edx, 4 ; size of buffer
    int 0x80 ; call kernel

    ; Store integer value from buffer into num
    mov eax, [input]
    mov [num], eax

    ; Divide num by 16
    mov eax, [num]
    mov edx, 0 ; clear high word
    mov ebx, 16 ; divisor
    div ebx
    mov [num], eax

    ; Print num
    mov eax, 4 ; system call number for printf
    mov ebx, 1 ; file descriptor 1 (stdout)
    mov ecx, num ; address of string to print
    mov edx, 4 ; size of string
    int 0x80 ; call kernel

    ; Exit program
    mov eax, 1 ; system call number for exit
    xor ebx, ebx ; exit status 0
    int 0x80 ; call kernel
