*****need help programing in assembly language*****

Hi there everyone. I am really new to this assembly language and i don't know how to code this simple programe.. Please help me with this. I would very much appreciate it.. here is the question..



Need to design assembly language programe IA-32 that could find the number of 0's [binary] in each integer in x and put and display the value in y.

.DATA

X SWORD -100,200,300,400,-500
Y BYTE 5 DUP (?)

 

[rcgldr]

Bit oriented method:

Assume value in EAX, zero bit count will be in EDX

        mov     ecx,32
        mov     edx,0
lp0:    rol     eax,1
        cmc
        adc     edx,0
        loop    lp0

.CODE

MAIN PROC

;Initialize variables
MOV CX,5 ;number of elements in X
MOV BX, OFFSET X ;point to X
MOV DI, OFFSET Y ;point to Y

LOOP1: ;loop for each element in X

MOV AX,[BX] ;load element from X into AX
MOV BL,0 ;initialize counter for 0's

CHECK: ;loop for each bit in binary representation

AND AX,1 ;check if LSB is 0
CMP AX,0 ;compare with 0
JE COUNT ;if LSB is 0, jump to count

NEXTBIT: ;continue to next bit
SHR AX,1 ;shift AX to the right by 1
JNZ CHECK ;if AX is not 0, continue checking

COUNT: ;count the number of 0's
INC BL ;increment counter
SHR AX,1 ;shift AX to the right by 1
JNZ CHECK ;if AX is not 0, continue checking

;store the value of BL in Y
MOV [DI],BL ;move value to Y
INC DI ;increment pointer to Y

;continue to next element in X
ADD BX,2 ;move to next element in X
LOOP LOOP1 ;loop for each element in X

;display the values in Y
MOV CX,5 ;reset counter
MOV DI, OFFSET Y ;point to Y
DISPLAY: ;loop for displaying values in Y
MOV DL,[DI] ;load value from Y into DL
ADD DL,'0' ;convert to ASCII
MOV AH,2 ;print character
INT 21H ;print character
INC DI ;increment pointer to Y
LOOP DISPLAY ;loop for each element in Y

EXIT: ;exit program
MOV AH,4CH ;exit program
INT 21H ;exit program

MAIN ENDP

END MAIN

I understand that learning a new programming language can be challenging, especially when it comes to assembly language. My first recommendation would be to familiarize yourself with the basics of assembly language, such as its syntax and common instructions. This will give you a solid foundation to build upon.

In this particular case, the program you are trying to code involves using bit manipulation to count the number of 0's in each integer in a given array. I suggest breaking down the problem into smaller steps and tackling them one at a time. For example, first
