COSC $2425$ Programming Project $4$

Write an assembly language program that reads move review information

from a text file and reports the overall scores for each movie as well as

identifying the movie with the highest total score. There are four movie

reviewers numbered from $1$ to $4.$ They are submitting reviews for five

movies, identified by the letters from $$A$$ through $$E$.$ Reviews are reported

by using the letter identifying the movie, the review rating, which is a

number from $0$ to $100,$ and the reviewer$$s identifying number. For example,

to report that movie B was rated a score of $87$ by reviewer $3,$ there will be a

line in the text file that looks like this:

B$,87,3$

The fields within each record are separated from each other by a comma.

Your program must store the movie review scores in a two$-$dimensional

array $(4$ rows by $5$ columns$).$ Each row represents a reviewer. Each column

represents a movie. Initialize the array to zeroes and read the movie review

information from a file. After reading and processing the whole file, display a

report that shows the total score for each movie and the movie that had the

highest total score.

Section $9\mathrm{.}4$ of our textbook discusses two$-$dimensional arrays. Section $9\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}2$

discusses Base$-$Index Operands and even contains an example of how to

calculate a row sum for a two$-$dimensional array.

Chapter $11$ contains an example program named ReadFile.asm that will

show you how to prompt the user for a file name, open a file, read its

contents, and close the file when you are done. Look in section $11\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}8,$

Testing the File I$/$O Procedures.

Each record in a text file is terminated by the two characters, Carriage

Return $(0$Dh$)$ and Line Feed $(0$Ah$).$

Assume that you wish to process a text file named $$reviews$.$txt$$ that is

stored on the $$C:$$ drive in the $$Data$$ folder. If you are using a Windows

computer, you have two ways to identify the path to the file$$s location:

C:$/$Data$/$reviews$.$txt OR C:$\backslash \backslash$Data$\backslash \backslash$reviews$.$txt

Double backslash characters $(\backslash )$ are needed because a single backslash is

defined as being the first part of an escape sequence such a
