Question

Having trouble with a homework question for NASM using ALong32.

You are to read in N integers, terminated by a value of zero, which will not be used. You are to sort these numbers into ascending order and print them out. You must produce an error message if either no data is entered prior to a value of zero, or if too much data is entered and would overflow your array. You should plan on handling at least 100 integer values to properly size your array.

Here is what I have so far:

%include "ALong32.inc"
global main
section .data

MYARRAY TIMES 100 DW 0;1 ROW * 100 COLUMNS
counter dq 0 ;counter
firstInt dq 0 ;input number that will be added to intTotal
four dq 0; 4 int constant
result dq 0

input1 dd "Input integer: ",0
noData dd "No data entered",0
tooMuch dd "Too much data",0
  
section .text

_start:
mov word [four], 4; four=4
mov edx, input1 ;input1=edx
call WriteString
call ReadInt
mov [firstInt], eax ;firstInt=eax
cmp eax, 0 ;is eax = 0?
jz exit ;if so, exit program
cmp edx, 0x00
je none
jmp continue

none:
mov edx, noData
call WriteString
call Crlf

continue:
mov [firstInt], edx
imul ecx,ebx,four
mov [result],ecx
;add to array
inc ebx
cmp ebx, 100
je exit
mov [counter],ebx
jmp continue
  
exit:
   mov eax, 01h    ; exitC)
   mov ebx, 0h    ; errno

   int 80h

Explanation / Answer

Read a byte from stdin

mov eax,3

push dword 1

push dword variable

push dword 0

push eax

int 0x80

add esp,16

To read in a single character from standard input

mov eax,3

mov ebx,0

mov ecx,variable

mov edx,1

int 0x80

print a byte to stdout

mov eax,4

mov ebx,1

mov ecx,variable

mov edx,1

int 0x80

sort numbers into ascending order

push ecx;

desc ecx

push ecx;

loop L3

pop ecx;

setWrite:

xor ebx,ebx

pop ecx;
