(There is no wrong answer, except if its blank)
Assembly language will never die:
A. But I will never use it again!
B. Because it is the best language ever!
C. Not!
D. movrax, 0xff
E. None of the above

Notes:

• When writing a binary value greater than 0xff I will put a space between each nibble like this, 1010 0011 this is to make it easier to read, and should not be considered an actual space. 10100011 is the same as 1010 0011 for this exam
• The code questions and examples are written in Intel style for x86_64 running on Linux, just as we have studied and the labs have been written in.
