Sum of two numbers (each 2 characters) in assembly 8086

Question

I'm actually a beginner in using emu8086 for assembly codes. I want to do the sum of 2 numbers with 2 characters each and later generate it for n characters. I was able to do it with one character, but not with two.

data segment                                     
    mess1 db "saisir le premier nombre : $"               
    mess2 db 0Ah,0Dh, "saisir le second nombre : $"    ;0ah, 0dh pour faire le saut de ligne
    mess3 db 0Ah,0Dh, "le resultat est : $"
    a db ?         ; contient le nombre apres conversion 
    b db ?         
    res db ?            
    buffer db 2 dup ('$')   
    dix db 10

Answer 1

Your AffichageMesRes procedure is wrong. First, it calls Somme again, in spite both numbers have already been added in the main thread debut: . Second, using the DOS function AH=2 WRITE CHARACTER TO STANDARD OUTPUT expects the character be loaded in DL, which is not.

The calculated result in res is an 8bit unsigned binary number. For instance if you entered 12 as le premier nombre and 34 as le second nombre , the result is 12+34=46 which is stored in res as 0x2E. You need to convert the binary 0x2E into two decadic characters '4' and '6' prior to writing them on console. Hint: divide 0x2E by dix and use the divident (4) as the first digit and the remainder (6) as the second digit.
