A program that simulates rolling two six-sided dice 1000 times, and prints a table of the empirical distribution.

diceSimulator

Master File for the diceSimulator Assembly Language program. This program simulates rolling two six-sided dice. It then keeps track of how many of each number (2-12) are rolled, and after 1000 iterations it prints the empirical distribution.

This program was written first as practice for, and then modified for submission as, the midterm for CSCI 212: Machine Org/Assembly Language.

diceSimulator Files:

• Main.s: Initializes the array and houses loops that calls several subfunctions (described below)
• incArray.s: Increments the necessary array index based on the number passed to it
• initArray.s: Sets the value of each index of the array to 0.
• modulo.s: Performs a modulo of two arguments passed to it and returns the result.
• printTable.s: Prints a table showing the empirical distribution of the dice rolls.
• rollDie.s: Generates a random number between 1 and 6 and returns it.

The output of this program, as submitted for the exam, can be seen below:
