Fundamentals of IT Assignment: Number Systems, MARIE, and Interrupts

This document presents a solution to an IT fundamentals assignment. The assignment covers several key topics in computer science, including number systems (base conversions and representation), MARIE assembly language programming (Fibonacci sequence implementation), and computer organization concepts such as interrupts and bus architecture. The solution provides step-by-step explanations for number system conversions and calculations, a complete MARIE program with code and comments, and discussions on interrupt handling and the advantages of multiple bus architectures. The assignment aims to assess the student's understanding of fundamental computer science principles and their ability to apply them in problem-solving and programming.
