im trying to count a number of 0nes in an XOR output of binary numbers and need a control structure that will enable a register to increment it content.
here is what i have so far
TITLE number of ones in an xor output (XorOutputNumberOfOnes.asm)
INCLUDE Irvine32.inc
.code
main PROC
mov eax,00110001b ;puts 00110001 binary to eax
mov edx,00011001b ;puts 00011001 binary to eax
XOR eax,edx ;sets the XOR output to eax
xor ebx,ebx ;set ebx equal to zero mov ecx,8
shiftl: ;loop to shift to the left
shl eax,1 ;shift to the let by one position
;a control stament goes here for searchin that identifies a carry
inc ebx ; increment ebx whenever there is a carry
loop shiftl
exit
main ENDP
END main
