How do i Print out a number using fasm assembler?

2.6k views Asked by At

I am really new to assembly programming and i am learning to experiment with the few things i am learning by myself and class. So, my goal is to display a number stored in a register. When i run the program, it displays the character value of the number, so if i were to display the number itself how would i do that. Here is my code, please kindly suggest me where i made my mistake. Until now we have been taught the move instructions and few other basic things in assembly.

#fasm#

mov ah,2

mov bh,66
add bh,1

mov dl,bh


int 21h
int 20h
2

You can use win32 api (example below). I would suggest you to search for Iczelion tutorials. They're in MASM. FASM Iczelion examples are here.

; code section
section '.text' code readable writable executable
     ; text buffer for the number to display
     buffer  rb 64  ; 64 bytes

     ; program start
  start:

     ; our number
     mov     eax, 1234

     ; printing EAX to buffer
     cinvoke wsprintf, buffer, '%d', eax

     ; terminate string with zero
     mov     [buffer + eax], 0

     ; showing message
     invoke  MessageBox, 0, buffer, 'result', MB_OK

     ; calling exit
     invoke  ExitProcess, 0
