Question # 8. (5 points)
Use the following data definitions:
dword1

DWORD

10h, 20h, 30h, 40h

Programming Question (10 points)

Question # 12. (10 points)

--- use the back

of the page if needed ----

Write an assembly program that first moves the four values: 1000h, 2000h, 3000h, 4000h stored in
Uarray to the EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX registers respectively and then finds the sum of these
numbers and stores it in a memory location named ANSWER. Use the call DumpRegs to output the
original values and their sum.
GOOD LUCK
