hi all,

i'm having trouble printing numbers to the screen:



.model small

.stack

.data

.code 



start:



mov ah,02h

mov dl, 48

int 21h



mov ax,4c00h

mov int 21h



end start

this code will print the character '0' to the screen, but how i can i let my code print the contents of dl (48) to the screen instead?

thanks in advance,

Kind regards

In assembly language you can only print characters. What you need to do is convert the binary representation of 48 to it's character representation of '4' '8'. A web search would help you more than a quick solution, so I'll direct you to www.google.com. :)
