Assembly Program to Count Characters in a String

January 19, 2020

The program will prompt the user to input a string and will count the number of characters present in that string. The program will not count white spaces as white spaces are not characters.

 The program takes a string and stores the string in STRING and will start iteration if there is a white space the program will continue without incrementing CHARACTERS and if there is a character the program will increment CHARACTERS. After counting the characters the program simply prints the number of characters.

    The Powderpuff Girls, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, live in a city called Townsville. Accidentally created by a laboratory mix up, they were derived from sugar spice things that are nice and unknown chemical that was accidentally spilled into the serum. All having superhero powers, these three characters continually fight crime. Most children, boys and girls alike, enjoy this series due to the action packed adventures they are involved in. hora loca
