Assembly Program to Read a Character and Convert it to Lower or Upper Case

January 16, 2020

This program will take a character from the user and convert it to lower case if it was in upper case or convert it to upper case if it was in lower case.

 The basic idea in the program is when a lower case character entered by user we subtract 20 of Hexa from it and when an upper case character entered by user we add 20 of Hexa in it.
