Simple Calculations in ARM Assembly Language Assignment Solution

Instructions

Objective

Write an ARM assignment program that helps us to perform simple calculations in ARM assembly language.

Requirements and Specifications

Your program will simulate operation of a Furniture Factory saw.

A Furniture Factory has an automatic saw that cuts 1" x 6" x 12' planks to the length specified by the user. The saw is preloaded with three full length boards. If the first board is long enough, cut the desired length from the board. If the first board is not long enough, continue checking the other boards until you find one long enough. The user enters the length in whole inches. 144” is the maximum length request and 6" is the minimum length request. Continue prompting the user until all the boards are at least 6" long. After each board is cut the program is to print out the total number of boards cut so far, the total linear length of the boards cut (in inches) and the length remaining on each of the three boards. Prior to shutting down the program the remaining inventory is calculated and displayed as waste. When the program starts it shall display an identification and the current inventory level.

The program shall then prompt the user for the length of board to cut. For example:

Enter the length of board to cut in inches (at least 6 and no more than 144):

The program shall reject any invalid inputs (characters, less than 6, or greater than 144) and prompt for entry again.When a valid input is provided the program finds a board that is long enough and cuts therequested length from the board. If there is not a board long enough the program displays there are no boards long enough and prompts for a new (shorter) request. After each valid board cut the current inventory levels are displayed. For example:

Boards cut so far: 4

Liner length of boards cut so far: 75 inches

Current Board Lengths:

One: 69 inches

Two: 144 inches

Three: 144 inches

When the length of each board is less than 6 inches the program will display final inventory levels and return control to the OS.

For example:

Boards cut so far: 30

Liner length of boards cut so far: 423 inches

Current Board Lengths:

One: 4 inches

Two: 0 inches

Three: 5 inches

Inventory levels have dropped below minimum levels and will now terminate.

Waste is 9 inches.
