5) MOV CX, 7 - Immediate addressing mode
6) FIRST: - No addressing mode (label)
7) XCHG BX, CX - Register addressing mode
8) MOV CX, 9000H - Immediate addressing mode
9) LOOP $ - Relative addressing mode
10) XCHG BX, CX - Register addressing mode
11) SHL AL, 1 - Immediate addressing mode

18) LOOP $ - Relative addressing mode
19) XCHG BX, CX - Register addressing mode
20) SHR AL, 1 - Immediate addressing mode
21) OUT 0, AL - Direct addressing mode
22) LOOP SECOND - Relative addressing mode
23) JMP TOP - Direct addressing mode

CPU 8086
ORG 0X0400
MOV AL, 1 ; Move immediate value 1 to AL register
OUT 0, AL ; Output the value in AL to port 0
MOV BX, 0 ; Move immediate value 0 to BX register
TOP: ; Label for top loop
MOV CX, 7 ; Move immediate value 7 to CX register
FIRST: ; Label for first loop
XCHG BX, CX ; Exchange the values in BX and CX registers
MOV CX, 9000H ; Move immediate value 9000H to CX register
LOOP $ ; Loop back to FIRST label based on CX register value
XCHG BX, CX ; Exchange the values in BX and CX registers
SHL AL, 1 ; Shift left AL register by 1
OUT 0, AL ; Output the value in AL to port 0
LOOP FIRST ; Loop back to FIRST label based on CX register value
MOV CX, 7 ; Move immediate value 7 to CX register
SECOND: ; Label for second loop
XCHG BX, CX ; Exchange the values in BX and CX registers
MOV CX, 9000H ; Move immediate value 9000H to CX register
LOOP $ ; Loop back to SECOND label based on CX register value
XCHG BX, CX ; Exchange the values in BX and CX registers
SHR AL, 1 ; Shift right AL register by 1
OUT 0, AL ; Output the value in AL to port 0
LOOP SECOND ; Loop back to SECOND label based on CX register value
JMP TOP ; Jump to TOP label
c) The FIRST loop runs 7 times, the SECOND loop also runs 7 times, and the TOP loop runs indefinitely (until a jump or a halt instruction is encountered).
d) The loop $ instruction is a relative addressing mode instruction. It decrements the value in the CX register by 1 and checks its value. If the value in CX is not zero, it loops back to the label marked by the $ symbol (in this case, either FIRST or SECOND). This allows the program to repeat the instructions within the loop a certain number of times.
A) Write the addressing modes used against each instruction.
b) add comments
c) how many time the FIRST, SECOND, and TOP loops run?
d) How loop $ works?

explain d) in simple terms
In simple terms, the loop $ instruction is used to repeat a set of instructions a specific number of times. The number of times the instructions are repeated is determined by the value in the CX register at the beginning of the loop.
The loop instruction first decreases the value in the CX register by 1. It then checks if the value in CX is zero or not. If it is not zero, the program jumps back to a specific label marked by the $ symbol, which indicates the starting point of the loop. This means that the instructions within the loop are executed again.
This process continues until the value in the CX register becomes zero. Once the value in CX becomes zero, the program moves on to the next instruction outside of the loop. By using the loop $ instruction, the program can repeat a certain set of instructions multiple times without having to write those instructions multiple times in the code.
