This is a reading assignment.  If you have been following the Course Outline, you would know already to have read 2.1 through 2.3.  Here, you should read 2.4 and 2.5.

Be sure to have this material read by tomorrow.  At the end of each section are "QUESTIONS / EXERCISES".  You should study these, and you should also note that the answers to these are in the back of the book.  So use them to verify that you indeed understand the material.

Note:  There is nothing to turn in tomorrow, but take note that when you have reading assigned, it would not be inappropriate for there to be a pop quiz covering the assigned reading material on the date it is due.  Like tomorrow, for example.  Hint, hint....

Happy reading, and tomorrow we start assembly language programming!
