[Alternative "Hello World" for Rosetta Code]
[Subroutine to print a string.]
[Parameter: A order for first character follows subroutine call (G order).]
[Modified 2022-07-13: A order for first character was formerly passed in 0F.]
[String is terminated with EDSAC null, which is printed]
T56K GK [load at 56; set relative addressing]
A18@ U17@ [plant return link, increasing address by 3
instead of 2 as usual]
S19@ [make A order to load A order after subroutine call]
T4@ [plant in code]
[4] AF [(planted) load A order after subroutine call]
[5] T6@ [loop: plant A order for next character]
[6] AF [load next character]
UF [to 0F for printing; keep it in acc]
OF [output to teleprinter]
E12@ [if char >= 0, not EDSAC null]
A20@ [if char < 0, add 15 to test for EDSAC null]
G16@ [jump to exit if null]
[12] TF [clear acc]
A6@ A2F [inc address in A order above]
G5@ [loop back, because top 5 bits = A = 11100]
[16] TF [clear acc on exit (EDSAC convention)]
[17] ZF [(planted) jump back to caller]
[18] U3F [constant for making return link]
[19] U1F [constant for picking up parameter]
[20] K2048F [constant for testing final null]
[Main routine]
T96K GK [load at 96; set relative addressing
[Enter with acc = 0]
[0] A@ G56F [call print subroutine]
A4@ [A order for first character of string]
ZF [subroutine returns here; halt machine]
[4] K2048F HF EF LF LF OF !F WF OF RF LF DF @F &F K4096F
[The above string is: letter shift, 'HELLO WORLD', CR, LF, null]
EZ [define entry point]
PF [acc = 0 on entry]
[end]
