Sheet #3

Using Loops in 8086 Assembly Language

Introduction:
In this lab experiment you will learn how to use loops to do repeated
tasks such as printing the same message or printing a specific character
on the screen multiple times to do such a task let’s begin with the code
listed below which prints the ( * ) character on the screen 10 times
spaced by space character.

The Code:
MODEL SMALL
.STACK 100H
.DATA

SPC EQU ' ' ; declare a constant SPC = ‘ ‘

.CODE

Start:

MOV CL,0AH ; CL = 10 in decimal

BACK:

MOV DL, '*'

MOV AH, 2 ; print one character in DL
INT 21H

MOV DL, SPC

MOV AH, 2 ; print space character
INT 21H

END Start

After completing the code save the code to prog4.asm file.
