You are allowed to submit your assignment via email, but if you choose to do so, you must bring a hardcopy of your assignment along with a completed cover sheet to the instructor at the next class. (Note: Do not email the instructor any .zip file attachments, as SLU's email may not accept these emails; i.e. the instructor may not receive your email.)

Answers without work will recieve zero credit.

(1.5 points each) Match the following assembly code sections with their equivalent C expressions

For each instruction below, indicate:
  * whether the data for that operand is found/stored in:
    o register
    o memory
    o in the instruction itself
  * size of the data (1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes)
  * what addressing mode is used for each operand (see table below)
  * give an english description of the instruction (example: "add five to register EAX")
