> what is the value 0012FFC4 pointed to by ESP stands for?
0012FFC4 is a memory address - ESP (SP being Stack Pointer)
[ESP] is the contents of that address.

In C terms, it's
int *esp;

Same as anywhere else, assuming you lack a library to do it
- research algorithms (you've got google, do some searches)
- write code
- test code

Aww, and I was hoping they might have to figure out the sub al,'0' thing for themselves....

OK, so it's just divide and conquer to move from something which works, to something which doesn't.

After "we're" done writing it, "you" still won't know how to write assembly code.

Find the manual for an ARM C compiler.
Look up "calling conventions"

You seem to be confusing "need" with "want".

Spoon-fed answer on a plate is what you "want", so you can bugger off for the weekend chasing MOTAS.

So do you know how to write it in C, or another language of your choice?

An 8051 is pretty ancient, what sort of "display" and "input" do you have?

> i need it in sunday
Looks like you've got a busy weekend ahead of you. I know I have.

But gcc can't create com files even when it is hosted on WinDos, nevermind when it's hosted on Linux.

Do you have a separate assembler, say nasm?

Read the rules, we don't give you code just because you managed to cobble together some buzz-words in the hope that it looks like effort.

> What do you think is wrong?
Is your compiler a real DOS compiler?
Is your real OS really DOS?

What do you think the result will be?

Nevermind, the answer is 42.

> and outputs a message if theres a carry over
So you do the add, look at some flags, make a decision.

Well the 'problem' is that the code you posted doesn't look at all like x86 assembler.

I found something called BEP/16, but is that relevant?

Do you want us to guess which processor and host OS you're using?

> Q1. Write ....
> Q2. Write ....
Now, tell me once again how your demands equate to you putting in some effort, and not expecting to be spoon-fed an answer.

Apart from hijacking a dead thread, what's your question?
Find a compiler which targets the ASM you want, and follow the instructions earlier in the thread.

Is that the tolling of the bell marking the end of DOS support I hear ringing?

About time if it is.

Good for you.

Now YOU go and read the forum rules, and post some actual effort, instead of just dumping your homework on us.

All the same, until you post the code, expect waffle, or nothing.

What does atod do?
Does it return a result, and if so, how?
Are you comparing with that result?

> cmp grades , 0
You're comparing the function address itself with 0, not the result it returned in the previous line.
