+\subsection*{Library Functions}
+
+You need to generate code for the instruction \texttt{write} and \texttt{read}. This
+will require to add some ``library'' functions to your generated code. The first
+command even needs two versions, because you might want to write out an
+integer or a string. The Java byte code will need two separate functions for this.
+For writing out an integer, you can use the code
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{minipage}{12cm}
+\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
+.method public static write(I)V 
+    .limit locals 5 
+    .limit stack 5 
+    iload 0 
+    getstatic java/lang/System/out Ljava/io/PrintStream; 
+    swap 
+    invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(I)V 
+    return 
+.end method
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{minipage}
+\end{center}
+
+\noindent 
+This function will invoke Java's \texttt{println} function for integers. Then if you need
+to generate code for \texttt{write x} where \texttt{x} is an integer variable, you can generate
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{minipage}{8cm}
+\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
+iload n 
+invokestatic XXX/XXX/write(I)V
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{minipage}
+\end{center}
+
+\noindent
+where \texttt{n} is the index where the value of the variable \texttt{x} is
+stored. The \texttt{XXX/XXX} needs to be replaced with the class name 
+which you use to generate the code (for example \texttt{fib/fib} in case
+of the Fibonacci numbers).
+
+Writing out a string is similar. The corresponding library function is
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{minipage}{12cm}
+\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
+.method public static writes(Ljava/lang/String;)V
+   .limit stack 2
+   .limit locals 2
+   getstatic java/lang/System/out Ljava/io/PrintStream;
+   aload 0
+   invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(Ljava/lang/String;)V
+   return
+.end method
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{minipage}
+\end{center}
+
+\noindent
+and the code that needs to be generated for \texttt{write "some\_string"} commands 
+is
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{minipage}{8cm}
+\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily, numbers=none]
+ldc "some_string"
+invokestatic XXX/XXX/writes(Ljava/lang/String;)V
+\end{lstlisting}
+\end{minipage}
+\end{center}
+
+\noindent
+Again you need to adjust the \texttt{XXX/XXX} part in each call.
