To perform an add operation on a stack machine, the following steps are taken: two pops, an add and another pop.

True

False

These are the only instances that can prevent an add operation on a stack machine from completing successfully: either of the two pops result in an underflow, or the addition is out of range.

True

False

The calculator uses a stack for arithmetic operations. During an add operation, if the result is beyond the range of representable values, the stack pointer needs to be incremented twice to return the stack to the condition it was in before the add was attempted.

True

False

To display a number on the monitor, it needs to be converted from an ASCII string to a two's complement integer.

True

False

The OpNeg subroutine forms the 2's complement negative value of the top value on the stack. It is accomplished by the following sequence of operations: pop the top of the stack, perform the bitwise NOT of this value, add the value 1, push the result on the stack.

True

False

The "peek" subroutine returns the value of the topmost element of the stack without changing the stack. Thus, the only error checking we need to do is to check for overflow.

True

False

. A stack machine performs the following sequence of operations. What is the final result popped:

128

A peek subroutine is defined as one that returns the value of the top of the stack without removing the element from the stack. After the following sequence of operations, what result is last popped off the stack?

A stack machine performs the following operations. The result after the pop is push 7 push 3 multiply push 4 push 3 add multiply pop
