Triangular Numbers using LMC
A triangular number correspond to the number of dots that would appear in an equilateral triangle when using a basic triangular pattern to build the triangule. The triangular numbers sequence contains all the triangular numbers in order. The first 10…
Little Man Computer – Max Function
In this challenge we will create a computer program using LMC (Little Man Computer) that takes two inputs and outputs the larger (max) of the the two inputs. By completing this challenge we will investigate the use of the branching…
Little Man Computer: Countdown Timer
In this challenge we will create a computer program using LMC (Little Man Computer) that takes a number as an input (e.g. 5) and outputs a countdown from this value. (e.g: 5.4.3.2.1.0). By completing this challenge we will investigate the…
Little Man Computer: Mini Challenges
By completing this set of 12 mini challenges you will write programs using Little Man Computer using all the instructions of the LMC instruction set (See below). You will start with basic Input / Process / Output challenges based on…
Understanding Memory Address Modes
There are many ways to locate data and instructions in primary memory and these methods are called “memory address modes”. Memory address modes determine the method used within the program to access data either from the Cache or the RAM.…
Little Man Computer: Factorial Challenge
In Mathematics, the factorial of n is denoted by n! and calculated by the product of integer numbers from 1 to n. For instance: In this challenge you will write a program using Little Man Computer to ask the user…
Little Man Computer: Multiplication
Write an LMC program to let the user enter two numbers, num1 and num2. The program should output the results of multiplying these two numbers: num1 x num2. LMC Simulators Online LMC Simulator Alternative LMC Simulator Solution While checking the…
Little Man Computer: 5+4+3+2+1
Write an LMC program to let the user enter a number n. The program should calculate the output n + (n-1) + (n-2) + … + 3 + 2 + 1. For instance if the user enters the value 5.…
Little Man Computer – Burglar Alarm
Write an LMC program to let the user enter a PIN code to deactivate a burglar alarm. The program should let the user have up to 3 attempts to enter the correct PIN code before starting the alarm. The correct…
