PLEASE somebody help me
I have QUESTIONS about pep/8
and 4 hours left to figure it out

1. in C++, global variable CHAR word[32] = "Backward"; is common
but how do i initialize it in pep/8 ??
I need to write a simple program to flip it backward using stack pointers
and the char array need to be initialized before the main()

2. this is a favor to ask, at the same time I'm also debugging myself
can some1 check this assembly code translated from C++ for me??
I can not find the bug,and the output windows keep showing
"Invalid DECI input"
C++ code

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int times(int par, int mcand)
{ if(mpr==0) return 0;
  else if(mpr%2==1) return times(mpr/2, mcand*2)+mcand;
  else return times(mpr/2, mcand*2);
}
int main()
{ int n,m;
  cin>>n>>m;
  cout<<"Product: "<<time(n,m)<<endl;
  return 0;
}

Assembly code

BR      main
;times
mpr:     .EQUATE 0
mcand:   .EQUATE 2
temp:    .EQUATE 4
retVal:  .EQUATE 8

         LDA     mpr,s

         CALL    times
         LDA     -2,s

         DECO    -2,s
         STOP

         .END

one more question!!
