All the arithmetic operations work now. String multiplication (as per
Perl (M-M-Ma-M-Max Headroom)) and modulus were the toughest since I had to implement them in Java assembler
(there's no operation or provided function for either), and I suck at writing assembler. String multiplication takes 19 instructions and modulus takes
12. They could be done in fewer... this assembler syntax must have
an unconditional jump! Unconditional jumps? I must have this assembler syntax!
Modulus program: calculates a%b
Enter a:
1049
Enter b:
203
1049 % 203 = 34
Confused? You won't be, after this episode of Soap.

In Oceans today I learned that it takes 8 tons of water to raise
8 tons of beef (yes, this was relevant to the lecture). I also learned that it takes 2500 gallons of water
to produce one hamburger's worth of meat. Unless I made a conversion
error,
this means that the average hamburger patty weighs
20,781 pounds. No wonder Americans are so fat!
