As part of my quest to improve my assembly skills I’ve been reviewing Vivek Ramachandran’s Assembly Primer for Hackers. I’ve nearly completed the series and I thought I would try out some of what I learned. I did my best to write this code completely from scratch and without reviewing the videos at all. I did peek at Professor Ben Abdallah’s reference guide to decide which loop instruction was appropriate and how to jump to the correct label after using cmp, but I didn’t feel like I was having to learn the material; it was used as a reference guide just as it was intended.
