carry.
2. WALP to add two 32 bit hexadecimal numbers.

3. WALP to sort a given set of N numbers in ascending and descending order using Bubble
sort technique

4. WALP to perform
 32 bit X 16 bit number multiplication
 32 bit X 32 bit number multiplication

5. WALP to find the largest number from a given set of N unordered 8/16 bit numbers.

6. WALP to find the presence of a key element in an unordered and unsigned array of 8/16
bit numbers. Store FFH in LOC if key is present else store 00 in LOC. Use
 Linear search
 Binary search

7. WALP to generate Fibonacci series up to N terms.
