Instruction-code-converter

Overview

This project is a C++ program that converts assembly-like instructions (e.g., ADD, STA, INP) into binary machine code based on a custom instruction set architecture. It reads instructions from input.txt and writes the converted binary codes to output.txt.

Features

• Supports multiple instruction sets and operand types
• Handles direct and indirect addressing
• Skips comments in the input
• Outputs both the original instruction and its binary representation

How to Build

1. Make sure you have a C++ compiler (e.g., g++, clang++) installed.
2. Compile the program:

   g++ converter.cpp -o converter

   On Windows, you can use MinGW or Visual Studio's compiler.

How to Run

1. Place your instructions in input.txt (see example below).
2. Run the program:

   ./converter

   or on Windows:

   converter.exe

3. The output will be written to output.txt.

Input File Format (input.txt)

• Each line contains an instruction, optional operand, and optional comment (starting with //).
• Example:

   ORG 20A
   BSA 103 //comment1
   INP
   ADD K
   ADD y
   ISZ x //comment2
   STA z
   ISZ 515 I
   ISZ 103
   AND 155 I //comment3
   BUN FAE I
   HLT //comment4
   x 053 //comment5
   y FE9
   z AA0
   FAFA //comment6
   FAFA
  

Output File Format (output.txt)

• Each line contains the memory address, instruction, operand, and the binary code (16 bits).
• Example output:

   20A : BSA 103   0000000100000011
   ...
