This C++ program calculates the factorial of a number between 0 and 8 using inline 8086 assembly instructions. The multiplication is handled within an assembly loop, showcasing a basic yet insightful use of mul
, dec
, and jnz
instructions.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main() {
clrscr();
short a;
unsigned int c;
cout << "\n Enter Number between 0 to 8:";
cin >> a;
asm mov ax, 0000h
asm mov al, 01h // Initialize AX to 1
asm mov cx, 0000h
asm mov cx, a // Set CX loop counter to input value
bac:
asm mul cx // Multiply AX by CX
asm dec cx // Decrement CX
asm jnz bac // Loop until CX reaches zero
asm mov c, ax // Move result from AX to variable c
cout << "\n Factorial of " << a << " is " << c;
getch();
