This LC-3 assembly language program will print the binary ASCII code for a single character typed by the user.

Details

The program must start at address x3000. Heres how the program must behave:

The program prints > , which serves as a prompt to tell the user that the program is waiting for input. The prompt string is a greater-than symbol, followed by a single space.

The user types a character on the keyboard. The user does not hit after the character is typed. The user character is printed on the console[1] followed by a linefeed character.

The program prints a string that shows the 8-bit binary representation of the ASCII code for the character. The string must follow exactly the format shown below, where X is replaced by the users character and bbbbbbbb is replaced by the ASCII code:

The ASCII code for 'X' is bbbbbbbb

A linefeed is printed at the end of the string.(Your code will not print in boldface, of course; thats just used for emphasis here.)

The program halts.

Do not use subroutines (the JSR instruction) for this assignment. Points will be deducted if you do.

Example run (user input is shown in bold):

> 6

The ASCII code for '6' is 00110110

Another example run:

> m

The ASCII code for 'm' is 01101101
