Anybody here knows how to code assembly

[fanatiik]

So in one of my class we have to code assembly and I'm not really good at it.

the thing I need to do is quite simple but my understanding of the language sucks

what I need to do is verify that the user enters a variable that atleast has a length of 2 and starts with a capital letter.

I tried a few things but I'm so bad I was pretty much doing jack shit. Hopefully one of you guys knows more then me and can help.

Well what CPU is this for? You need to know the ISA before you can do anything.

I don't know what you mean by that but I use virtual box on a debian operating system

I also use yasm to compile the program if that can help.

For machine code and assembly language there is a fixed set of instructions available to the processor. The registry will also not be the same between processors ect.

Man it's been a long time since my computer organization class that involved assembly language coding. I remember having to do a double linked list with sentinel nodes in assembly that was due 3 days later and only count 1/25th of our final grade(typical homework assignment value) I was one of 6 people in the 30 person class to do it.

Now as for your question:

 

After some quick googling yasm appears to use the nasm langauge.

 

This link has someone trying to find the length of a given string(though it is a help site because his isn't working):

assembly - Length of a string using NASM - Stack Overflow

 

Use that then compare the value to the number 2.

 

Then the should be a way to at the very least go letter by letter checking to make sure it isn't a capitol.

Is is A? Is it B? Is it C?

Are you using MIPS assembly language?

What is your CPU Architecture? I'm doing this atm at university.

[fanatiik]

I looked up on google and I use intel x86 processor architecture

also thanks renegade that code looks quite simple to understand i'll get into it more deeply tomorow as of now I don't feel like coding :/
