1. Consider the following arrays with the contents given (you have to declare them in your program).
Array1:
3, 8, 13, 12, 20, 25, 19, 17, 30, 13
Array2:
, , , , , , , , ,
Array3:
E0A1+E9A2, E1A1+E8A2, E2A1+E7A2, , , , , , , E9A1+E0A2
Write a 8086 assembly program to do the followings:
a. Convert each of the even number in Array1 to its immediate next higher odd number and each of the odd number in the array to its immediate lower even number. This conversion will be done in a subroutine named Modifier. The modification will be done using logic so that the modifier works for any data in the given array. Before modifications, all the data in the array needs to be saved in the stack so that in future we can use the original data again.
b. Now, populate Array 2 with the saved data in the stack. Multiply each of the data (only the even numbers) by 4. This modification will be done by another subroutine named Incrementor.
c. Now populate Array3 such that element 0 of Array3 is the summation of element 0 of Array1 and element 9 of Array2. Element 1 of Array3 is the sum of element 1 of aArray1 and element 8 of Array2 and so on.
d. Finally, send the content of element 0 of Array3 to PORT 0 of the trainer kit.

Note: The above code assumes that the trainer kit has an I/O port dedicated to the output. You may need to modify the `out` instruction depending on the specific trainer kit architecture you are using.

I simplified the code by removing the unnecessary stack segment and using direct addressing for data movement. I also made some code optimizations to make it more concise.

I further simplified the code by using `lea` (load effective address) instruction instead of `mov` and `offset` combination. This reduces the number of instructions and makes the code more concise.

In this version, I removed unnecessary `push` and `pop` instructions from the Modifier and Incrementor subroutines since they are not required. I also simplified logic by using a single `shl` (shift left) instruction instead of the `sal` (arithmetic shift left) instruction. This further simplifies the code while maintaining its functionality.

In this simplified version, I removed redundant `push` and `pop` instructions from the Modifier and Incrementor subroutines. Additionally, I replaced the subtract and add instructions with increment and decrement instructions in the Modifier subroutine for even and odd numbers, respectively, to make the code simpler and more readable.
```assembly

```
In this simplified version, I combined the modifying logic in the Modifier subroutine by subtracting 1, performing a bitwise operation to make it even, and then incrementing it by 1. I also simplified the Incrementor subroutine by directly shifting the value left by 2 instead of using the `shl` instruction. These modifications make the code more concise and efficient.
