I tried to take on a simple task. I TRIED to do a simple assembly problem. But, the flaws of the ARM architecture ultimately almost defeated me. Computers suck at division, and there’s a few reasons for that. Division is so hard for computers, that the ARM processor core didn’t have a divide instruction until 2004.
