Your Task

So$,$ for your assignment, you get to create a program to recreate the Sorting Hat.

You will ask questions and the user will respond with a character. Based on their answers, you will print which

house they will be put into.

The Sorting Hat's Algorithm

While the Sorting Hat seems mysterious and powerful, it follows a basic nested If Statement. Well, this isn't really

true, but it's your instructor's attempt to turn it into a programming assignment.

So$,$ for this assignment, let's assume that it simply senses the answers to a few questions and then puts the

student into the correct house $($hopefully$).$ The logic is as follows:

This is the output from one possible solution. Your solution doesn't have to look exactly like the example below.

But, make sure to fulfill all the requirements. Input is displayed in blue.

Input Validation

So$,$ what happens if the user enters an invalid number? The Sorting Hat is going to ask the question again. So$,$

your program must repeat the question if they enter an invalid value. This is actually quite easy to implement,

once you understand the logic.

Have Fun!

You don't have to use the four houses from Harry Potter. Create your own four categories. Naturally, the

questions will be different, but the overall approach is the same. The following are some example categories.

$$ What class in a role player game are you?

$$ What should you have for dinner?

$$ What meme do you most resemble?

$$ Which SpongeBob character are you?

$$ Which Rick and Morty alien are you?

$$ What kind of pet should you get $$ species, breed, etc...

$$ What political philosophy are you?

$$ What music you should listen to$?$

$$ etc...

Repeat the

question.

Don't restart.

Tips

$$ Like all labs, build it in pieces. First get a single If$-$Statement to work. Then, you can work on to more

detailed ones.

$$ All labels must be unique. Choose your names well.

$$ Assembly doesn't have blocks... so don't think in those terms. Your program will be structured far

differently from programs in Java.

Requirements

Now work on each of the requirements below one at a time. You will turn in the final program, but incremental

design is best for labs. You must think of a solution on your own.

The requirements are as follows:

$1.$ Display text explaining the theme of your program. You don't have create the Hogwarts one that I used. Use

your imagination!

$2.$ Input each choice $($with prompts$).$ You must input a character. Any lab that uses ScanChar will receive a

zero.

$3.$ If the user enters an invalid number, repeat the question!

$4.$ Implement the logic in the flowchart above. Use nested If$-$Statements.

$5.$ Display the output for all four possibilities.

$7$

Creating Your Program

$1.$ Write your program with nano.

nano lab$5.$asm

$2.$ To assemble your program into an object file, type the following. Warning: If you list your $.$asm file directly

after the $-$o$,$ it will be destroyed.

as $-$o lab$5.$o lab$5$asm

$3.$ To link your program, type the following:

ld $-$o a$.$out lab$5.$o csc$35.$o

$4.$ To run your program, type the following:

$./$a$.$out

Submitting Your Lab

Type the following to submit your lab. This will transfer a copy of your lab to me$.$ NOTE: You can only submit your

assignment once. Make sure you got it working.

$./$submit lab$5.$asm
