Dynamic WinExec resolution and calculator execution in x64 s…

Identify which library contains WinExec and explain why
Define the required string variables:
- winexec_func containing "WinExec"
- calculator_str containing "calc.exe"
Explain how to perform a lookup_api call for WinExec:
- What value should be loaded into RCX
- What value should be loaded into RDX
Once the function pointer for WinExec is obtained:
- Explain how to pass the two required parameters to WinExec
- What values should be in RCX and RDX
Reference Assignment 3a:
- Identify the first and second parameters originally passed on the stack
- Explain how to replace the push instructions with lea instructions for RCX and RDX
Provide the exact assembly code that should be added between line 27 (call rax) and line 51 (; Exit) to spawn the Windows Calculator
Include clear explanations for each step so I can understand the logic, not just the final code

Please make sure the explanation is clear, detailed, and human-written, as this is for a graded lab.

Thank you!
