8086 Palindrome

This document contains a program to check if a string is a palindrome or not. It defines a sample string "able was ere ere saw elba", prints it, then loops through the string comparing the first and last characters, then second and second last, and so on to see if they are equal. If all characters match when read backwards or forwards, it prints "this is a palindrome!", otherwise it prints "this is not a palindrome!".

; this sample checks if string is a palindrome or not.

; palindrome is a text that can be read backwards


; and give the same meaning as if it was read forward.
; for example: "abba" is polindrome.
; note: this program is case sensitive, "abba" is not "abba".

name "pali"

org 100h

jmp start

m1:
s db 'able was ere ere saw elba'
s_size = $ - m1
db 0Dh,0Ah,'$'

start:

; first let's print it:


mov ah, 9
mov dx, offset s
int 21h

lea di, s
mov si, di
add si, s_size
dec si ; point to last char!

mov cx, s_size


cmp cx, 1
je is_palindrome ; single char is always palindrome!

shr cx, 1 ; divide by 2!

next_char:
mov al, [di]
mov bl, [si]
cmp al, bl
jne not_palindrome
inc di
dec si
loop next_char
is_palindrome:
; the string is "palindrome!"
mov ah, 9
mov dx, offset msg1
int 21h
jmp stop

not_palindrome:
; the string is "not palindrome!"
mov ah, 9
mov dx, offset msg2
int 21h
stop:

; wait for any key press:


mov ah, 0
int 16h

ret

msg1 db " this is palindrome!$"


msg2 db " this is not a palindrome!$"
