Abniac Lab

Overview

Practice what you've learned about machine language by writing a small program using ABNIAC.

The Project

Write a program that solves the following problem:

• Output all the letters of the alphabet backwards.
• Do not store each letter in memory
• The perfect answer will include a loop

Turning it in

Please follow this procedure to turn in your abniac assignment.

• Write pseudocode Use a word processor to write out your algorithm. This can include named cells like we used in class. You can also use command abbreviations (like sto counter)
• Include a code trace proving how your code works. You'll probably need to create a table in your word processor.
• describe how it works in English... Explain what's happening in a paragraph or two.
• Include actual code The algorithm is the most important part of the assignment, but you can back it up with working abniac code. Use abniac's email feature to copy the code and paste it to your word processor. Don't email using the tool - it's unreliable. Just use it to copy the code.

About the Document

This is lab also tests your facility with a word processing document. Here's the guidelines:

• It doesn't matter which word processor you use. Save in office '03 format, please
• You must incorporate appropriate styling
• You'll need at least one table
• The code should be in a monospace font
• Spelling, grammar, and writing style count
