Question: Problem ( 3 ( 3 0 mathrm { Pts } ) ) A Minsky machine [ 1 ] consists of a finite
Problem mathrmPts A Minsky machine consists of a finite set of registers, r rldots rk each capable of holding an arbitrary nonnegative integer, and a program made up of orders of one of two types.
The first type has the form:
The interpretation is that at point m in the program, register rj is incremented by one, and execution proceeds to point n in the program.
The second type of order has the form:
The interpretation is that at point m in the program, register rj is decremented if it contains a positive integer, and execution proceeds to point n in the program. If register rj is zero, then execution simply proceeds to point p in the program.
The program for the Minsky machine consists of a collection of such orders, in a form shown in the figure below. The starting point and all possible halting points for the program are conventionally labeled zero. The above program takes the contents of register r and adds them to register r while decrementing r to zero.
Create a Minsky machine that computes the square of a natural number.
