Okay so I working on this program where I have to input a string and then display the character distribution in that string.
if the input is “minecode” the output should be
C – 1
O – 1
D – 1
E – 2
I – 1
M – 1
N – 1
here is what I tried to do but I really don't know how to traverse the loop and check for similar character and then increment the count. Please help me out! The assenbler is MASM 6.15 running on 32 bit machine.
.686 .MODEL flat, stdcall .STACK INCLUDE Irvine32.inc .DATA msg0 BYTE "Enter a string of characters: ",0 msg1 BYTE "Character Distribution: ",0 MainArray dword 10000 dup (?)
