Segmentation-fault error happening with Assembly code program

Question

I keep getting a segmentation fault error when running my code. Everything has compiled well, but I can't seem to get it to do what I want. The program is to ask the user to enter 3 integers, then ask the user what they think the average of the numbers would be, take that into account and then come back with whether or not the user guessed correctly

    segment .data
;
; Output strings
;
prompt1          db    "Enter a positive integer: ", 0
prompt2          db    "Enter a second positive integer: ", 0
prompt3          db    "Enter a third positive integer: ", 0
prompt4      db    "Enter a guess of their average: ", 0   
outmsg1          db    "You entered ", 0
outmsg2          db    " and ", 0
outmsg3          db    " and ", 0
outmsg4      db    "You guessed that the average is ", 0
outmsg5      db    "You did you guess correctly? (0 = no, 1 = yes)", 0
avermsg      db    "The average of the numbers is ", 0

Answer 1

It is not easy to pinpoint the problem without knowing the compiler you use.

Segmentation fault hapens in protected mode, when you try to access a segment you have no permissions to access.

You declare 3 diferent segments here. You have to make sure your ds register is initialized to your .data segment, before calling print_string .

It also seems problematic that after read_int you save the data to the input1 variable which seems to be in a different segment than that you used for printing the message, but you do not change ds .

I'm not familiar how exactly your compiler handles these segments, so please give a link to its documentation.

Answer 2

div ebx

the problem seems to be here. You have to zero out edx since is is the high order word of the divisor, so probably you're getting something like a division overflow exception.
If this isn't the case probably the problem is in some of your I/O routines
