I have made a boatload of mistakes.
My goal is to make fewer mistakes.
Welcome to the club. :biggrin:
Hell,Mistakes are my middle name.
Nah - you got it all wrong. Those are called senior moments :biggrin:
Where the heck are my glasses...and Get the flock off my lawn!!!!!!
Experience equals = PPS, no pun intended
The long version: Mistakes from which you learn is experience,
all else is stupidity <= copy protected quote of Masm32
I have made that many PHUKUPS that I could not count them, the action is fixing them. The faster you fix them, the smarter you get. :P

It seems that is not your only goal. (http://masm32.com/board/index.php?action=stats)
You forgot to count PMs. :-)
I am sure you aren't that far behind me.
Forum's biggest mistake so far:
There's no book on Masm32 yet.... so bare with Irvine
When we recognize our errors this is a form of knowledge. When we know that we can't understand one thing this is a form of knowledge.
But we are assembly programmers, we don't create errors, we create mitakes :greenclp:
One of our many virtues is humility

And we optimize them :eusa_dance:
hehehe, of course, and after we can compress too

There is a very good Book/PDF By Randy Hyde...The art of assembly language.
http://www.plantation-productions.com/Webster/
Very good intro to the basics.
yep, but this is the one of Randy's HLA, right?
Both his art of assembly and about HLA...there are also hard copies available

Win32 assembler art of I think.

Chapter 2.9.5.:
QuoteThe following simple example demonstrates one use for the REPEAT..UNTIL statement:
mov( 10, ecx );
repeat
stdout.put( "ecx = ", ecx, nl );
sub( 1, ecx );
until( ecx = 0 );
The non-HLA version of AoA is in the recommended reading para of my tips, tricks & traps. (http://www.webalice.it/jj2006/Masm32_Tips_Tricks_and_Traps.htm)
Good to know, I thought there was only the HLA one, which is a no no.
BTW, "Modern x86 Assembly Language Programming" by Daniel Kusswurm arrived here yesterday. Looks like a nice one too.

But there's a quite good tutorial dealing with FPU instructions:

You will do far better with the work by Daniel Kusswurm. It is up to date and well written. Treat the old stuff like the plague, its technology is out of date and will fill your head with clapped out old technology.

I actually bought it after your recommendation somewhere here in the forum.

Nice Raymond, I didn't know this one. Bookmarked!
btw Raymond, I also had a trs-80! It felt I owned a dream machine at that time, that was a beautiful machine..

I don't know which one you had. Mine was the very basic one with 16kb of total memory but fortunately had the expansion to 64 kb. WOW!
That effectively allowed me to extract square roots with a precision of up to 10,000 decimals after a challenge from my son whose friend was trying to write a program to get square roots with a 30-decimal precision. :icon_cool:

The Kusswurm book is certainly a good choice if one can afford it. If not, the non-HLA version of AoA is really not bad, and it's free. And Ray's tutorial for the FPU is free
and excellent.

The first time I saw a Trs-80 that my sisters boyfriend had I said in my heart,I gotta get me one of those....(first working computer I ever laid my eyes on)
