Slide 14

Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Advanced Math Instructions (Cont.) Compute (CPT) instruction may be used to solve mathematical equations.

Slide 15

Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Advanced Math Instructions Example Given the following equation, you can use the CPT instruction to solve it. Y = (A (ln B) e C ) + (tan D)

Slide 16

Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Advanced Math Instructions Example (Cont.) First assign floating point register locations for the parameters in the equation. Note that integer registers such as N7:0 hold integer numbers. Floating point registers such as F8:0 hold a real number that has both integer and fractional part.

Slide 17
