Homework 1 Example...

This may not have been a good idea (lol). I ended up using a number of 'tricks' to optimize the size of the program, like using an in-line table, which, when compared to a traditional table, only saves one word of program memory and one stack level. Anyway, the program uses 30 words of program memory and 1 byte of RAM but it's probably incomprehensible for beginning programmers. Sorry! I can't help myself (lol).

Cheerful regards, Mike

Well done Mike - the first person to submit their homework to me in years!

Excellent coding there and now that I have learned a few other languages since writing the ASM tutorials, I can see how my new languages can actually help if I go back to using ASM. Once again, very well done :)
