I understand that the English language (like all natural languages) is
inherently ambiguous, and so try as we do to specify the Assembly Language
clearly, there are always questions.

To help you deal with these questions, we have provided on the course web site
(under Lab Assignment 1) a link to a correct assembler that we have written
and tested.  Feel free to use it to clarify any questions you have with respect
to the wording in the Assembly Language specification.  

It is still your job to come up with corner cases to test your Assembler, and
also to provide the correct error messages for each programming error.

Good luck getting Programming Lab 1 done by Sunday night at midnight.
