Answering Questions from the Video
What was the name of the presenter? Don Gage
What should you clear each time you run this program? Clear memory of the system. Clearing up memory removes all the residuals from the previous runs (Gage).
What is ZZ for? Are two symbols used by the simulator to know where the end of the object code is (Gage).
Why are the instructions communicated in hex? Instructions are communicated in hex because the numbers are human-friendly. Expressing binary representations in hex is also much more comfortable. Besides, hex helps in defining locations in memory and display error messages (Gage).[unique_solution]
What did the first simulation accomplish? It explained how to enter an object code into the program machine language, load it, and execute it (Gage).
What page in the book is the example #2 from? The page in the book that the example #2 is derived is page 171 (Gage).
What command is used to change form source code to machine code? The command that is used to change from source code to machine code is a compiler that is responsible for taking the source code and converting it to a machine language module. Then the linker combines the machine language with other previously connected object files to create an executable file (Gage).
Where are the results of instruction stored? The results of an instruction are stored in the system memory (Gage).
What input did not get used? Machine language code did not get used (Gage).
What did the second simulation accomplish? It converted an assembly language to machine code. It helped in understanding the process of entering and running assembly language programs in the Pep/8 simulator (Gage).
