Benefit and reason using Assembly Languages


Basically there are 3 levels of Programming Languages:
  1. Machine Language
    • Consists of individual instructions that will be executed by the CPU one at a time
    • Using Binary code ,since machines/ computer only know "on" and "off".
  2. Assembly Language (Low Level Language)
    • Designed for a specific family of processors (different processor groups/family has different Assembly Language)
    • Consists of symbolic instructions directly related to machine language instructions one-for-one and are assembled into machine language.
  3. High level Language
    • For example:C, C++, java and Vbasic
    • Designed to eliminate the technicalities of a particular computer.Statements compiled in a high level language typically generate many low-level instructions. 
The main point of this post is not about the machine language nor High Level Language, but the assembly Language.

Machine Language is make up from 0 and 1 ,thus assembly language is easier for human to read since  is using English.


Generally, programs called "assemblers" transform assembly language to machine language. This is a relatively straightforward process, there being a clear 1-to-1 transformation between assembly and machine language. This is as opposed to compilers, which do a complicated transformation between high-level language and assembly.

You also can use the Debug command in the Command prompt but however the Window 7 cannot support this command.

Advantages of Assembly Language

  • Shows how program interfaces with the processor, operating system, and BIOS.
  • Shows how data is represented and stored in memory and on external devices.
  • Clarifies how processor accesses and executes instructions and how instructions access and process data.
  • Clarifies how a program accesses external devices.
People using Assembly Languages because program that written in Assembly language required considerably less memory and execution time than programs written in High Level languages
.Beside Assembly language gives a programmer the ability to perform highly technical task that would be difficult, if not impossible in a high-level languages.More over most software specialists develop new applications in high level languages, which are easier to write and maintain.

    that good notes but how to clerifies a program access external device plz detail?

Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

Image
The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word

Reading & Writing Operation of DRAM

Image
In Dynamic Random Access Memory CELL , transistor acts as a switch to Close (allowing current to flow) when voltage applied in address line or Open (no current flow) when no voltage applied in address line.Address Line also known as word line .Which use to signal the transistor to close or open. During the Write operation ,a voltage is applied on the bit line and a signal applied to the address line to close the transistor.Then the voltage applied on the bit line will transfer to capacitor and store in the capacitor However the capacitor has tendency to discharge and has to refresh to maintain the bit. While in Reading Operation ,the instruction find the bit store using the address line to read the data or bit. When the address line is selected ,the transistor turns on and the charge stored on the capacitor is fled out onto a bit line and to sense amplifier. Sense amplifiers compare the capacitor voltage to reference value to determine the logic 1 or logic 0.The read out from

Method to Convert from Stream to Json C#

Recently I was using the C# HttpClient to make REST request but I found that is was quite troublesome so I have changed to using HttpWebRequest instead. So want the HttpWebRequest result is return it was in Stream form. I not able to convert it into Json. this is the method i convert the stream to JSON. HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse ) requirejs . GetResponse (); Stream stream = response . GetResponseStream (); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( stream ); var serializer = new System . Web . Script . Serialization . JavaScriptSerializer (); var jsonObject = serializer . DeserializeObject ( sr . ReadToEnd ()); As you can see that jsonObject is an object. Now you can parse it into the Json(JsonObject); If you have any question can leave a comment below.
