Problem Statement:
Q: Write down a program in C which will display any long string on the screen and after passing 5 seconds, if no key is pressed then the string should be changed by replacing all character of ‘y’ on the screen (video text memory) by ‘z’. For example: String on Screen is : “Hey young man, you have a lovely watch”. It should be changed to “Hez zoung man, zou have a lovelz watch”.
[Hint: Video text memory area starts from location B800:0000. You have to traverse whole text memory area by using for loop, and then use simple if statements, to replace y with z.
Instructions:
You should include all related header files first of all then declare string array to store string to be displayed and declare interrupt pointer to hold old interrupt i.e
char str1[80]={“ “Hey young man, you have a lovely watch”$”}
void interrupt (*old)(void);
Similarly, give prototype for new functions of i.e
void interrupt newfunc();
Declare a far pointer i.e *scr to hold far address =0xB8000000
Store current vector values of INT 8 through getvect in old().
Set newFunc() fuctions through setvect.
In newFunc() function, give logic to wait for 5 seconds i.e t>=90
Replace y character to z i.e
for ( int j = 0; j < 4000; j += 2) {
if(*(scr + j) == 0x79’) // small y ASCII code.
*(scr + j) = 0x7A;// small z ASCII code.
Sample Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <BIOS.H>
#include <DOS.H>
int t=0;
char str1[…..Hey young boy you have a lovely watch$”};
void interrupt (*old)(void);
char far *……..)0xb8000000; // code to access video text memory area
void interrupt newFunc();
void main( )
{
clrscr();
// Display string on screen by calling int21h.
old=getvect(…….);
setvect(0x08,newFunction);
}
void interrupt newFunction( )
{
If (t>=90 )
// write for loop here
// write body of for loop}
//if part
…..
(*old)();
}
Note: Your assignment file should be a single Word file (.doc or .docx).

Problem Statement:
Q: Write C program to switch on any one of the toggle button i.e Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock by taking any one input i.e 1,2 and 3 respectively. Using Switch Case Statement, switch on the appropriate toggle button and show message for that button. For example if the user enter 3 then Num Lock should be on and message should be displayed “Num Lock is On”
Store all the following 5 lines of strings in 5 array st1,st2,st3, st4, st5 and through interrupt 65H print proper message i.e
Which toggle button you want to switch on:
Press 1 for Caps Lock
Press 2 for Scroll Lock
Press 3 for Num Lock
Press Key(1/2/3):
Instructions:
Include all header files and declare 5 string arrays for messages.
You should save interrupt 65H vector in a pointer to vector variable name oldint65 through getvect instruction.
Call any new function i.e newint65( ) through setvect instruction.
Then use scanf to take input in an integer variable i.e scanf(“%d”, &i)
Place service number in AH register. Interrupt 65H will check its value and will perform relevant function.
Interrupt 65H function must check for Service Number using Switch Statement.
Use keep() function to make this program TSR.

Problem Statement:
You are required to write C program which will display one ‘*’ character on the screen on each CPU timer interrupt 8 in a way that each * character is displayed after the previous *. i.e
On elapse of 7 seconds then the screen characters should be removed and again the * character should be started printing on the screen in similar way i.e *********
This process should be continued again and again until you press any key from the keyboard.
Instructions:
You should include all related header files first of all then declare interrupt pointer to hold Timer i.e void interrupt (*oldTimer)(void);
Similarly, give prototype for new functions of newtimer() i.e void interrupt newTimer();
Declare a far pointer i.e *scr to hold far address =0xB8000000;
Store current vector values of INT 8 through getvect in oldTimer.
Set newTimer fuctions through setvect.
In newTimer() function, give logic to print ‘*’ on the screen i.e *(scr+i)=0x2A;
Write code to wait for 7 seconds i.e t>=126 and through loop write blank spaces on the screen by setting keyboard status with black background i.e no character on screen i.e
*(scr+i)=ox20;
*(scr+i+1)=ox07;
When any key is pressed from the keyboard, the program should stop.

You have to attempt the quiz online. You can start attempting the quiz any time within given date(s) of a particular subject by clicking the link for Quiz in VULMS.
Each question has a fixed time of 90 seconds. So you have to save your answer before 90 seconds. But due to unstable internet speeds, it is recommended that you should save your answer within 60 seconds. While attempting a question, keep an eye on the remaining time.
Attempting quiz is unidirectional. Once you move forward to the next question, you can not go back to the previous one. Therefore before moving to the next question, make sure that you have selected the best option.
DO NOT press Back Button / Backspace Button while attempting a question, otherwise you will lose that question.
DO NOT refresh the page unnecessarily, specially when following messages appear

• How can interrupts be generated
• What are Interrupts
• Interrupt functions writing
• TSR program
• Calling interrupt functions

Problem Statement:
You are required to writ C program using interrupt 65H to print your own Student ID, Name or your Study Program depending upon the number input i.e 1,2,3 respectively. When the user enters 1 it will print your own Student ID, if 2 then print your own Name and finally, if the user enters 3, it will print your Study Program.
Instructions:
Declare 3 character strings st1,st2,st3 having Student ID, Name and Study Program
You should save interrupt 65H vector in a pointer to vector variable name oldint65 through getvect instruction.
Call any new function i.e newint65( ) through setvect instruction.
Through printf instruction, show message “What you want to print: Press 1,2,3= ” i.e
printf(“What you want to print: Press 1,2,3= ”);
Then use scanf to take input input in an integer variable i.e scanf(“%d”, &i)
In this program, you will implement interrupt 65H which is currently not used by operating system.
Place service number in AH register. Interrupt 65H will check its value and will perform relevant function.
Interrupt 65H function must check for Service Number using Switch Statement. In Case of Service Number 1, it should print Student ID i.e BC123456 and in case of Service Number is 2, it should print your own full name i.e Ali Ahmad. Similarly your study program i.e BS/MCS etc should be printed in case of number 3.
Use keep() function to make this program TSR.
Note: Your assignment solution will be in this Word file (.doc or .docx) containing code of C only as given in sample solution:
Best of Luck!
Sample Solution:
//Header Files

char str2[80]={“Ali Ahmad$”}
char str3[80]={“Degree Program: BS$”}
int i;
void interrupt newint65(void); //NewInt prototype
void main()
