5. Given that the ASCII codes for 'A' through 'Z' are x41 through x5A; and the codes for 'a' through 'z' are x61 through x7A: What are the bit-mask and the logic operation (NOT the LC3 instruction) that would force a character stored in R0 to lower case - i. e. convert an upper-case character stored in R0 into lower case, and leave a lower case unchanged (so ‘A’ would become ‘a’, and ‘a’ would remain ‘a’).

Note: the LC-3 stores ASCII characters in the lower ("right-hand") byte of a 16-bit word, with the upper byte set to zero

The bit mask: x0020

The logic gate: OR

Explanation:

ASCII codes for "A" and "a" in binary are 01000001 and 01100001

ASCII codes for "Z" and "z" in binary are 01011010 and 01111010

and so on..

On close observation, we can see that for all the numbers, the 3rd bit from the left is 0 for all upper cases and  1 for all lower cases.

To convert an alphabet into lower case we have to convert the 3rd bit into 1 if not already 1. An OR operation on the 3rd bit can do so which would result from a bit mask 00100000 and x0020 in hexa.

answer: jesus loves you

explanation:

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
