+Programming
+***********
+
+* Feel free to use your laptop
+* You are strongly encourage to work with others
+
+    * When you get stuck, ask those sitting around you for help
+    * Get used to working together in the labs
+    * Peer teaching and peer learning has been empirically shown to be very effective
+
+
+For these questions, use the ESAP design with conditional jumps
+:download:`from here. <../../topics/conditions/esap_alu_ram_output_pc_instruction_control_flag.dig>`
+
+Further, use the assembler
+:download:`from here. <../../topics/programming/assembler.py>`

+
+Counting Up and Down
+====================
+
+#. Write an assembly program to count from 0 to 255, then from 255 to 0, on repeat
+
+    * :math:`0, 1, 2, ..., 253, 254, 255, 254, 253, ..., 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, ...`
+    * Be sure to write the program in assembly, then assemble it with the assembler
+    * Run the program on the system to ensure correctness
+
+
+
+Multiplication
+==============
+
+#. Write a program to perform multiplication
+
+    * To simplify the problem, assume the value will be multiplied by at least 1
+
+        * For example, :math:`15 \times x`, where :math:`x \ge 1`
+
+
+    * Be sure to write the program in assembly, then assemble it with the assembler
+    * Run the program on the system to ensure correctness
+
+
+
+Other Programs
+==============
+
+#. Try to create various interesting programs for the ESAP system
