Subtract Two 8 Bit Numbers Code Assembly Language
Write a Program to Subtract Two 8 Bit Numbers in Assembly Language. Program will load two numbers in two registers and then subtract those numbers from one another . It should then display final result as the output of the program .
Consider that a byte of data is present in the AL register and second byte of data is present in the BL register.
We have to subtract the byte in BL from the byte in AL. Using sub instruction subtract the contents of two registers. Result will be stored in the AL register.
Display the result using display routine.
|
For example :
|
AL = 0A H
|
0A H
|
(10)10
|
|
|
BL = 04 H
|
–
|
04 H
|
(4)10
|
|
|
06H

Algorithm to Subtract Two 8 Bit Numbers
Step 1 : Initialize the data segment.
Step 2 : Get the first number in AL register.
Step 3 : Get the second number in BL register.
Step 4 : Subtract the two numbers.
Step 5 : Display the result.
Program to Subtract Two 8 Bit Numbers
.model small
.data
a db 0AH
b db 04H
.code
mov ax, @data ; Initialize data section
mov ds, ax
mov al, a ; Load number1 in al
mov bl, b ; Load number2 in bl
sub al, bl ; subtract numbers and result in al
mov ch, 02h ; Count of digits to be displayed
mov cl, 04h ; Count to roll by 4 bits
mov bh, al ; Result in reg bh
l2: rol bh, cl ; roll bl so that msb comes to lsb
mov dl, bh ; load dl with data to be displayed
and dl, 0fH ; get only lsb
cmp dl, 09 ; check if digit is 0-9 or letter A-F
jbe l4
add dl, 07 ; if letter add 37H else only add 30H
l4: add dl, 30H
mov ah, 02 ; Function 2 under INT 21H (Display character)
int 21H
dec ch ; Decrement Count
jnz l2
mov ah, 4cH ; Terminate Program
int 21H
end
