I am trying to convert the following C++ code into Pep/8 Assembly but it doesn't seem to work, and I really do not know whether it's because of my addressing modes or if there's a larger problem.
Here is an example which utilizes a switch statement, just not inside of a loop - Codepad Link. I also believe that I am having trouble making it so that the value in letter,s is compared to a case value. The book does not touch on switches much so it's really just trial and error at this point.
C++
int main() {
char letter;
int countA = 0,
countB = 0,
countC = 0;
cin >> letter;
do {
switch (letter) {
case 'A' : countA++; break;
case 'B' : countB++; break;
case 'C' : countC++; break;
}
cin >> letter;
} while (letter != 'X');
cout << "Number of A's " << countA << endl
<< "Number of B's " << countB << endl
<< "Number of C's " << countC << endl;
return 0;
}
