You are required to write a maximum of two instructions in assembly to do the following:

Clear bits 0 and 7 of register AL, i.e. make them 0
Set bits 3 and 4 of register AL, i.e. make them 1.
Complement bits 1 and 5 of register AL.
Keep all other bits in the register AL as is without changing their values.
