What is the difference between printing signed and unsigned number in assembly (80x86)? -


i have task take existing assembly program prints signed number (word sized), , need change print unsigned numbers (word sized)... please me understand difference , how should accomplish this.

that program prints signed number:

.model  small .stack   100h .data num  dw  -32768 nums db  6 dup(' '),'$'  .code     mov ax, @data     mov ds, ax      mov ax, num     mov bx, 10      mov si, offset nums+5  next:            cwd     idiv bx     cmp dx, 0     jge cont     neg dx cont:     add dl, 48     mov [si], dl     dec si         cmp ax, 0     jz sof     jmp next sof:         cmp num, 0     jge soff     mov byte ptr[si],   '-' soff:     mov ah, 9     mov dx, si     int 21h     .exit end

thanks!

since word size 16 bits, range of signed numbers -32768 32767, range unsigned numbers goes 0 65535. , while you're declaring num -32768, computer represents in hex 0x8000, if it's performing signed operations -32768, if performing unsigned operations +32768.

if use different negative number, -1, 0xffff in hex. if perform unsigned operation on it, interpreted 65535.

note idiv instruction signed division, whereas div instruction unsigned.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
