Once again I have found myself stuck on another problem in assembly langauge because it owns me. I am trying to write a program that uses the Bubble sort algorithm but to make things challenging I am required to use Local Variable. And that must be based off of this C++ coding:

function BubbleSort(int & array, int count)
{
int x, n=count ,y; //<---Create locals for these

for(x=0; x<n; x++)

{
 for(int y=0; y<x; y++)
  {
   if(array[y]>array[y+1])
        {
      int temp = array[y+1];
      array[y+1] = array[y];
     array[y] = temp;
     }
    }
}

Next I have to let this module print out the array as loaded with
random number (The "fill array" module does this). The array has 100
elements so I have to let PrintArray produce a 10x10 display of numbers.


This has proven difficult so unfortunately this is all I have

INCLUDE Irvine32.inc

.data
count = 100
array WORD count DUP(?)

.code
main PROC

	push OFFSET array
	push COUNT
	call ArrayFill
	
	exit

main ENDP

; Fills an array with 16-bit random integers.

ArrayFill PROC	
	push	ebp
	mov	ebp,esp
	pushad			; save registers
	mov	esi,[ebp+12]	; offset of array
	mov	ecx,[ebp+8]	; array size
	cmp	ecx,0		; ECX == 0?
	je	L2			; yes: skip over loop
    
L1:
	mov	eax,10000h	; get random 0 - FFFFh
	call	RandomRange	; from the link library
	mov	[esi],ax
	add	esi,TYPE WORD
	loop	L1

L2:	popad			; restore registers
	pop	ebp
	ret	8			; clean up the stack
ArrayFill ENDP

END main

So if anyone has any comments sugguestions or peices of coding to help me get the ball rolling, that would be extremely helpful

I have a bit of better Coding to go by so here's the new stuff.

INCLUDE Irvine32.inc

.data
count = 100
array WORD count DUP(?)

.code
main PROC

	push OFFSET array
	push COUNT
	call ArrayFill
	
	push OFFSET array
	push COUNT
	call PrintArray
	
	push OFFSET array
	push COUNT
	call BubbleSort
	
	push OFFSET array
	push COUNT
	call PrintArray
	
	exit

main ENDP

; Fills an array with 16-bit random integers.

ArrayFill PROC	
	push	ebp
	mov	ebp,esp
	pushad			; save registers
	mov	esi,[ebp+12]	; offset of array
	mov	ecx,[ebp+8]	; array size
	cmp	ecx,0		; ECX == 0?
	je	L2			; yes: skip over loop
    
L1:
	mov	eax,10000h	; get random 0 - FFFFh
	call	RandomRange	; from the link library
	mov	[esi],ax
	add	esi,TYPE WORD
	loop	L1

L2:	popad			; restore registers
	pop	ebp
	ret	8			; clean up the stack
ArrayFill ENDP

END main

Ok. For anyone who's been looking at this, I've made a slight modification to the program. I still can't get it to print out 10x10 and can't get a bubble sort algorithm to work. Here's what I got.
