actually this what our problem statement is it states that: write a program to manipulate as to count number of instruction executed by the processor. you can show any instruction mix executed. count the exact no of distinct instructions, in the total mix executed in 1sec.

i never want to post my home work in my first post i asked for guidance like what should i read or what to study for dos proframs. but due to constraint i need to explain why i need and where i need that so i posted my problem statement. it will be great if i find some guidance. thank you.

Hello. Try QBasic programming; get the program and install on your pc. It is purely MSDOS and will be of great help. You can write algorithms to check on the processes in the cpu. All the best!
