In this series of programming assignments, you would go through the step-by-step design process of a simple computer (along with its Instruction Set Architecture) and develop a software emulator for this machine. You would then complete the series by developing an assembler that can assemble a simple program written in using the instruction set to machine code, which is executed by the emulator. For the first assignment, your job is set up the basis for internal data representation in the CPU, namely the bits and the word. While Java provides bit-manipulation capabilities using bitwise operators (
