![Data Declaration Directives
• DB
The DB directive is used to declare a BYTE variable – A BYTE is made up of 8 bits.
Examples:
N1 DB 10h ; delcare and initialize 1 byte variable named N1
N2 DB ? ; declare 1 byte variable named N2 with no initial value
LITST DB 21H,22H,23H,24H : declare an array LIST with 5 bytes and initializes with value
LIST2 DB 10 DUP(?) ; declare an array of 10 bytes with no initial value
S1 DB “Hello$” ; declare an array of 5 bytes and initialize with ASCII code of letters “Hello”
• DW
– The DW directive is used to declare a WORD type variable – A WORD occupies 16
bits or (2 BYTE).
Examples:
N2 DW 1234h

- 3. Syntax: LOOP Label - The instruction LOOP is used to execute a group of instruction repeatedly a specified number of times. - The CX register must be loaded with loop count (the number of times the LOOP is to be repeated). - When LOOP is executed, i) register CX is decremented by one automatically. ii) If CX != 0 it jumps to the address indicated by label. If CX becomes zero, execution will continue to the instruction following the LOOP. - The LOOP instruction is a combination of a decrement CX and the JNZ conditional jump. LOOP: Loop if CX not zero Example : calculate sum of 8bit numbers from 1-10 MOV AL,0 ; sum = AL MOB BL,1 ; first number=BL MOV CX, 0AH ; count=CX L1: ADD AL,BL ; accumulate sum in AX INC BL ; next number=BL LOOP L1 ; decrement CX until 0 DEC CX JNZ L1
- 4. Controlling The Flow of an Assembly Language Program .IF-.ELSE-.ENDIF statement - Useful for making decision. General format of the .IF conditional statement: .IF (condition) …… .ELSE (optional) …… .ENDIF (end of if) - The assembly language also allows to use relational operator with .IF statement. - The table list the relational operators.

- 6. .WHILE-.ENDW statement Format of the while statement: .WHILE (CONDITION) ----------- ----------- .ENDW Example program: list all alphabets .MODEL .CODE MOV AX,@DATA MOV DS, AX MOV DL,’A’ .WHILE DL <= ’Z’ MOV AH,02H INT 21H INC DL .ENDW MOV AH,4CH INT 21H END - Test the loop condition before executing the loop body. The .ENDW directive marks the end of the loop
- 7. .REPEAT-.UNTIL STATEMENT Format of the .repeat-.until while statement: .REPEAT ----------- ----------- .UNTIL (Condition) Example program : list all alphabets .MODEL .CODE MOV AX,@DATA MOV DS, AX MOV DL,’A’ .REPEAT MOV AH,02H INT 21H INC DL .UNTIL DL<=’Z’ MOV AH,4CH INT 21H END - Executes the loop body before testing the loop condition associated with .UNTIL directive

Editor's Notes
- #4: loops through a sequence of instructions until CX=0 The execution of the Loop instruction involves two steps: 1. First, it subtracts 1 from ECX. 2. Next, it compares ECX to zero. If ECX is not equal to zero; a jump is taken to the label identified by destination. Otherwise, if ECX equals zero, no jump takes place and control passes to the instruction following the loop.
- #5: The if statement is used to conditionally execute a statement or a block of statements. Conditions can be true or false, execute one thing when the condition is true, something else when the condition is false. The expression after the 'if' is called the condition of the if statement. If the expression is evaluated to true, the statement(s) following 'if' clause execute and if the expression evaluates to a false value, the statement following the 'else' clause execute
