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 that this program assumes that you are running it on an emulator or simulator that supports DOS interrupts like INT 21h for displaying output.
The program starts by declaring the three arrays Array1, Array2, and Array3 in the DATA segment. It also includes a separate segment for the stack.
In the CODE segment, the program begins with the main START label. It sets the DS register to the DATA segment and calls the Modifier subroutine to modify Array1.
The Modifier subroutine uses a loop to iterate through each element of Array1. It saves the original data to the stack and modifies the even elements to the next higher odd number and odd elements to the next lower even number.
After the Modifier subroutine, the program calls the Incrementor subroutine to populate Array2 with the saved data from the stack. It multiplies each even number in the stack by 4 before storing it in Array2.
Next, the program calls the PopulateArray3 subroutine to calculate the summation of corresponding elements from Array1 and Array2 and store the results in Array3.
Finally, the content of element 0 of Array3 is sent to PORT 0 through the DOS interrupt INT 21h with function code 2.
Note that this program assumes the array indexes start from 0. If your array indexes start from 1, you will need to adjust the loops accordingly.

This modified code directly includes the instructions from the Modifier, Incrementor, and PopulateArray3 subroutines in the main START code. This eliminates the need for separate subroutine calls.

In this simplified version, the Modifier, Incrementor, and PopulateArray3 subroutines have been eliminated by directly incorporating their instructions into the main START code. This reduces the complexity and makes the code more concise.

In this simplified version, unnecessary instructions have been removed and the code has been optimized further. Some of the changes include:
- Replaced the ADD instruction with AND AX, 0FFFEh to clear the least significant bit and make the number even in the Modifier loop.
- Removed the MOV AH, 4 instruction in the Multiply loop as it was unnecessary.
- Removed the unnecessary MOV AX, Array3 instruction before sending the content to PORT 0. Instead, directly moved the value from memory to the DL register.
These changes simplify the code further and remove unnecessary operations, making it cleaner and more efficient.
