How many instructions are there in the SIC/XE instruction set? How does SIC determine whether the result of a TD instruction is successful? What are the two general purpose registers in SIC/XE? What is the size of F register? Why does the assembler need to handle the source files in two passes? Translate (by hand) the following assembly program to SIC object code. (The output format should contain H record, T record, and E record. )

With immediate addressing, the operand value is assembled as a part of the machine instruction. With a literal, the assembler generates the specified value as a constant at some other memory location. The address of this generated constant is used as the target address for the machine instruction.
