Simple Routine to get the Average of 5 numbers...? 2

[CubeE101]

How can you use ASM to get the average of 5 integer numbers with values up to a BYTE in size... (0-255)

I know you can use Right Shift to Average 2,4,8,... numbers

I never realy grasped how DIV works in ASM, if someone could explain that i would also be greatful... (like what registers to put the Numerator and denominator, and where the results are returned...

Is there a faster way to Average odd sets of numbers than using divide?

sorry for my ignorence... It's been about 3 or 4 years since I coded in ASM and that didn't last too long...

...arrays...
what about with DEBUG?

I don't think you can in this forum...

fyi...
MaxCode's forum let's you edit your posts though...

...and add attachments, and the [code]bla[/code] looks better...

I use both of them... frequently...

Yes I know in some forum they have the option to edit the posts. But I don't see it in this forum. Ok then I can live with it

...arrays...
what about with DEBUG?
You can do it with debug but of course in different ways. Arrays, pointers, whatever... is just a simple thing in asm. It's only a location (address) in memory.

Using DEBUG means we edit directly in memory. Honestly I don't know how can I explain this in simple way especially with debug. I suggest you do some simple test. Make small asm program and compile it. Then debug it to see how it works.

Other things is, in HLL they work differently with asm. different HLL sometimes also different on how they create arrays. So you have to know exactly how the HLL work with array first. Then you can code it in asm.

Good luck!
