4.  Problem 4 on CS/ECE 354 Prerequisite (Not Graded)

Translate the MIPS assembly language instruction add $3, $4, $5 into machine language. Express your answer in both 32-bit binary and 8-digit hexadecimal.

5.  Problem 5 on CS/ECE 352 Prerequisite (Not Graded)

A sequence detector is a finite state machine that outputs "1" when a particular sequence is detected and outputs "0" otherwise. For example, a sequence detector designed to detect the sequence "1010" outputs "1" every time this sequence is seen in the input stream. Thus, for an input stream "101010" the output will be "000101".

Specify the finite state machine state diagram for a sequence detector that detects the sequence that corresponds to the last two digits in your ID number, represented in binary coded decimal(BCD). For example, if your id is 902 631 9385 , the last two digits being 85, the sequence detector will detect 85, which is 10000101 in BCD. The sequence detector should also detect overlapping sequences.
