Hi,

I need to write a program (on emu8086), which would convert hexadecimal number into decimal number. I have to do it until tomorrow, but I don't know where to start. Please, someone, help me to write that program. :'(:

        mov     esi,shex
        mov     ecx,0
mGotoEnd:
        cmp     byte [esi],0
        je      mGotoEndEx
        inc     esi

        mov     eax,0
        mov     al,[esi]
        mov     ah,'0'

Each hex digit represents a nibble.
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F

Subtract 48 from the ASCII value, is it less than or equal to 9?
If so shift it into the proper nibble. If not subtract
65 'A' or 97 'a' from the original value and add ten and
shift into the proper nibble.

[ Digits are ascii values (in hex) 30 to 39h.
41 'A' - 41 = 0 add 10 because A = 10 in hex,
also 42 'B' - 41 = 1 + 10 = 11 or B in hex. ]

So that:
A8
/ \
1010 1000

To convert to decimal divide by powers of ten,
the quotient should yield the digit (0-9) of the corresponding
place value.
