1.7. SQUARES: A First Programming Example
Beginnings are hard. Just think back to the very first program that you wrote in any computer language. It was probably oversimplified, and the hardest task may have been getting data in or out. In this book, each illustrative example in assembly language is kept as simple as possible in order to help you focus your reading and study on the matter at hand, though you must also attend to the details.
In this section, we present a simple but complete program that has served well as a teaching example. We are going to express the algorithm in three high-level languages and in assembly language for the Itanium architecture
Statement of the problem:
Write a program that will produce in memory a table of the ...
