The header for the DIV routine we used in HW12 is given below: The header for the DISP_NUM routine is given below: Once we parse the operation character the user typed and determine it is a DIVide we would have the following code:   JSR DIV     [1]   JSR DISP_NUM  

The input(s) signals for this state diagram is/are: [1] The output(s) signal for this state diagram is/are: [2] This state machine that implements this diagram would require [3] flops The best description of this state diagram is [4]  HINT: when is the only time the output is high and can the machine stay in that state?

PUTS is an alias for a TRAP instruction that provides a way to [1] to the console display.  When PUTS is executed it is assumed that [2] contains [3].  With PUTS (like any call to a TRAP instruction) it is important to remember [4]

Consider this quote from a letter written by the author Franz Kafka.  “I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. That is my belief.” Answer the following two questions, including quotes from the texts we read for the first one. 1. Tragedies have been part of literature for centuries. Why might it be beneficial for a work to “wound” the reader or to break up the “frozen sea” inside of them? 2. Do you agree with Kafka’s belief about the purpose of books? Why or why not?
