Marking of Assignment 6

Only Question 1 was marked. It was marked out of 7. One mark was awarded for each of the following:

• submitting an assembler file at all (as long as it looks like an attempt at Assignment 6!)
• the assembler program has comments with the correct name, student number, etc
• if the assembly program appears to have an "infinite" loop that does not change the loop control variable (the "flag" variable) then one mark will be awarded. However, if the program does not have such a loop (e.g. within the loop there is a DOS or BIOS function call to read the keyboard) then 3 marks will be deducted.
• when the program is executed it prints the student's name and student number
• pressing/releasing a key other than ESCape does nothing
• pressing/releasing the ESC key causes the program to terminate (as evidenced by the re-appearance of a DOS prompt)
• the keyboard is operational after the program terminates
