i) You should always start with a flow chart, as explained in the screencasts. Then make a one-to-one correspondence with assembly language from the flow chart to write your final code. It is much easier to debug a flow chart then looking at lines of code. If you have a question regarding the logic of your program then send us your flow chart, not assembly code.
ii) The midterm statement says: Use a single for loop (alternate implementation, page 15, lesson 11) and a single if statement (alternate implementation, page 9, lesson 11). Follow these instructions, otherwise you will lose a lot of points. One of the aim of this midterm is to see if you can implement alternate implements of the for loop and the if statement.
