write less than 10 lines of codes in assembly.

The first function, write assembly code to compute the area of a right triangle: 1/2*a*b where a and b are the two legs of the triangle. Use integer arithmetic and don't worry about truncation by division. I will be using even values for a and b. Also, you will get only 35 points if you use the idiv instruction and a full 50 points if you avoid it.

*This must be in assembly. Do not write any C code. *This should be less than 10 lines long including any input and output. Writing more than this will reduce the number of points.

// These can be changed for debugging purposes // but DO CHANGE THEM TO THE ORIGINAL VALUES // RUNS = 10000 // SIZE = 10000 #define RUNS 10000 #define SIZE 10000

/* write a function using gcc inline assembly * that calculates the area of a right triangle. * the formula for doing so is: * area = 1/2 x side1 x side2 */

// This is the function.

int calcArea(int side1, int side2) { int area = 1.0;

// PUT YOUR ASSEMBLY CODE HERE // DON'T WRITE ANY OTHER // C CODE return area; }
