uodlcd | [Assembly] Can someone explain why the instruction AL := AL * 5 stores the hexadecimal of 750 in the AH register instead of 1250? | It's been a while since I dabbled in assembly, but...this presentation looks wrong. Setting AL to anything would not change the contents of AH. Trying to understand 5\*AL then 3\*250, those are different things.

uodlcd | [Assembly] Can someone explain why the instruction AL := AL * 5 stores the hexadecimal of 750 in the AH register instead of 1250? | It's pseudocode, so it's hard to know exactly what they intend it to do. The 8-bit x86 MUL instruction multiples AL by another byte value, and the result goes in the 16-bit AX. So the pseudo-code as written does not directly correspond to real x86 instructions.
My guess is they meant to say AX := 5 \* AL. Or it's a t... | 50 | AskComputerScience |
