Assembly Language Concepts and Instructions

The video is a detailed tutorial on building a computer in Minecraft, focusing on assembly language, registers, ALU, instruction memory, program counter, loops, and data memory. It explains how to create a functional computer using Minecraft's redstone mechanics, covering the basics of computer architecture and programming logic. The tutorial also highlights the importance of loops and conditional jumps in programming, and concludes with the addition of data memory and a display interface.

What is the lowest level language a computer can understand?

• Java

• Assembly Language

• C++

• Python

What are the two main sections of an instruction in assembly language?

• Command and Arguments

• Op Code and Operands

• Function and Parameters

• Instruction and Data

What is the purpose of the ALU in a computer?

• To store data

• To execute programs

• To perform arithmetic and logic operations

• To manage memory

How many operations can the ALU in the Minecraft computer perform?

• 11

• 9

• 7

• 5

What is the purpose of the 'load immediate' instruction?

• To subtract two numbers

• To load a number into a register

• To add two numbers

• To store a number from a register

What is the function of the program counter?

• To manage memory

• To store data

• To keep track of the current instruction

• To perform arithmetic operations

What does the 'halt' instruction do?

• Starts the computer

• Stops the computer from running

• Loads data into a register

• Performs a jump operation

What is the purpose of the 'jump' instruction?

• To perform arithmetic operations

• To load data into a register

• To move to a specific instruction

• To store data from a register

What is the difference between Von Neumann and Harvard architectures?

• Both architectures separate instructions and data

• Both architectures combine instructions and data

• Von Neumann combines instructions and data, Harvard separates them

• Von Neumann separates instructions and data, Harvard combines them

What do the 'load' and 'store' instructions do?

• Execute programs

• Manage the program counter

• Perform arithmetic operations

• Load data from memory to a register and store data from a register to memory
