Question
3) Write an assembly program that :
Load AL by an arbitrary number, if there is parity even, transfer 80H to the Port 0, and if there is parity odd, transfer 01H to the Port 0.
Load AL by an arbitrary number, if there is parity even, transfer 80H to the Port 0, and if there is parity odd, transfer 01H to the Port 0.

Assuming that the number is stored in memory location 1000:
```
MOV AX, 1000h ; Load the address of the number in AX
MOV AL, [AX] ; Move the value of the number to AL
MOV BX, 0 ; Initialize BX to 0 for counting the number of set bits (parity)
MOV CX, 8 ; Initialize CX to 8 for looping through the bits in AL
LOOP_START:
SHR AL, 1 ; Shift AL right by 1 bit
JC INC_BX ; If the bit shifted out was a 1, jump to INC_BX
LOOP LOOP_START ; Repeat until all 8 bits have been checked
INC_BX:
INC BX ; Increment BX to count the number of set bits
LOOP_LOOP_START:
CMP BX, 0 ; Check if BX is 0 (even parity)
JZ EVEN_PARITY ; If BX is 0, jump to EVEN_PARITY
MOV P0, 01H ; If parity is odd, transfer 01H to Port 0
JMP END_PROGRAM ; End the program
EVEN_PARITY:
MOV P0, 80H ; If parity is even, transfer 80H to Port 0
END_PROGRAM:
HLT ; End the program
```

The machine code for the above assembly program varies depending on the specific assembly language and processor architecture being used. Here is an example of the machine code generated by the NASM assembler for x86 architecture:
```
B8 00 10 ; MOV AX, 1000h
8A 00 ; MOV AL, [AX]
BB 00 00 ; MOV BX, 0
B9 08 00 ; MOV CX, 8
LOOP_START:
D0 E8 ; SHR AL, 1
72 04 ; JC INC_BX
E2 FA ; LOOP LOOP_START
INC_BX:
43 ; INC BX
LOOP_LOOP_START:
3B DB ; CMP BX, 0
74 03 ; JZ EVEN_PARITY
B3 01 ; MOV BL, 1
EB 01 ; JMP END_PROGRAM
EVEN_PARITY:
B0 80 ; MOV AL, 80h
E6 00 ; MOV P0, AL
EB 01 ; JMP END_PROGRAM
END_PROGRAM:
F4 ; HLT
```
