Explanation:
For an assembly code/language that has the conditions given in the question, the program that tests the macro, passing it operands of various sizes is given below;
;Macro mReadInt definition, which take two parameters
;one is the variable to save the number and other is the length
;of the number to read (2 for 16 bit and 4 for 32 bit) .
