Machine Language Example:

Consider this simple problem:

Write a computer program that computes the average of 3 given scores.

What are the steps?

• What is the first score?
  • Computer needs to ask the user to input a number and store it in memory for later use
• What is the second score?
  • Computer needs to ask the user to input a number and store it in memory for later use
• What is the third score?
  • Computer needs to ask the user to input a number and store it in memory for later use
• If you now have the three scores, you can add them up and compute the average:
  • Get the first number from memory (into Accumulator)
  • Add the second number (to accumulator)
  • Add the third number (to accumulator)
  • Divide the Acc by 3
  • Store result in memory
  • Display results to user
