Write a program to find out in a sorted array the sum of any two numbers present in the array is closest to the a number given. if you have an array 4, 6, 8,24,36 and the given number is 31 then output should be 24 + 6 = 30

Whiteboard programming: given a tile and a word, write a routine to determine if the word is valid. Wild card "*" might be present in tile and can be used for once when there is no match. For example, "bed" is valid given tile "abcdefg". "bread" is valid given tile "abcdefg*".

2nd question: 250 points. Smart Assembly Language Given a program compile it and print its output to STDOUT. The given language has 8 types of statements: ECHO 1 => prints the given number to STDOUT. Eg: ECHO 1 prints 1 to STDOUT EXIT => exits the program SET a 0 => assign variable a value 0, i.e. equivalent to a = 0 ADD 1 2 b => add 1(first) and 2(second) and assign its value to b(third), equivalent to b = 1 + 2. Value 3 will be assigned to variable b GOTO and LABEL LABEL 12 <statement> <statement> <statement> GOTO 12 The GOTO statement jumps to corresponding LABEL (defined by argument). The LABEL can occur either before or after GOTO statement. IF and END IF a 10 <statement> <statement> <statement> END If a(first argument) is equal to 10(second argument) then only statements between IF and END will be executed otherwise they will bot be executed. CONTINUE IF a 10 <statement> <statement> CONTINUE <statement> END CONTINUE is used inside IF END block. CONTINUE jumps to the corresponding IF statement of the block. Note: All arguments are whole numbers only. Variables names can only consist alphabetic[a-z] characters. All variables are intially 0. You don't need to SET a variable before using it. Example 1 Input SET a 0 LABEL 100 ADD a 1 a ECHO a IF a 5 EXIT END GOTO 100 Output 1 2 3 4 5 Example 2 Input SET a 1 SET b 2 SET goal 5 SET flag 0 IF flag 0 ADD a b c IF a goal ADD a a a SET flag 1 END ECHO a SET a b SET b c CONTINUE END Output 1 2 3 10
