Printing out a number in assembly language

Question

mov al 10 add al 15   How do I print the value of  al

User · Accepted Answer

Have you tried int 21h service 2   DL is the character to print   mov dl  A    print  A  mov ah 2 int 21h   To print the integer value  you ll have to write a loop to decompose the integer to individual characters   If you re okay with printing the value in hex  this is pretty trivial   If you can t rely on DOS services  you might also be able to use the BIOS int 10h with AL set to 0Eh or 0Ah

You might have some luck calling the Win32 API s MessageBoxA  although whether Win16 supports that particular method is for someone else to answer

Assuming you are writing a bootloader or other application that has access to the BIOS  here is a rough sketch of what you can do    Isolate the first digit of the hex byte If it is greater than 9  i e  0x0A to 0x0F   subtract 10 from it  scaling it down to 0 to 5   and add  A   0x41    If it is less than or equal to 9  i e  0x00 to 0x09   add  0  to it  Repeat this with the next hex digit    Here is my implementation of this     Prints AL in hex  printhexb      push ax     shr al  0x04     call print nibble     pop ax     and al  0x0F     call print nibble     ret print nibble      cmp al  0x09     jg  letter     add al  0x30     mov ah  0x0E     int 0x10     ret  letter      add al  0x37     mov ah  0x0E     int 0x10     ret

Assembly language has no direct means of printing anything  Your assembler may or may not come with a library that supplies such a facility  otherwise you have to write it yourself  and it will be quite  a complex function  You also have to decide where to print things - in a window  on the printer  In assembler  none of this is done for you
