Could someone give me a little help? It must be done in TASM 1.4, dividing 2 numbers like 14:2== 7. I tried for a few hours with tutorials from youtube but them all dont work. Some are for microsoft visual studio, which I can't use cause i must make it in the notepad. If anyone could help me you would save my day!

I tried coding the program but it tells me "Warning: no stack" and when i exe it, nothing pops out. I have few to almost none knowledge in assembly though.

The code I have tried is:

DATA SEGMENT
A DB 9 
B DB 6 
C DB ? 
D DB ? 
DATA ENDS 
CODE SEGMENT 
ASSUME CS:CODE, DS:DATA
START: MOV AX,DATA
MOV DS,AX
MOV AX,0
MOV AL,A
MOV BL,B
DIV BL
MOV C,AL
MOV D,AH
MOV AH,4CH
INT 21H
CODE ENDS
END START

    Show your code. The "no stack" is if you create an .exe file without a stack. Either allocate one or use a .com file. Specify how you need to take input and produce output (read string from user or hardcode something)? Also next time maybe don't wait until the assignment is due. – Jester Jan 10 '23 at 14:08
  • [edit] your question with updates; only post an answer if you're actually answering your own question with a working answer for future readers, like it says on the button. (And put code in a `code block`) – Peter Cordes Jan 10 '23 at 16:44

The reason it seems to not work is because your program doesn't contain any instructions to display output. You can tell the CPU to do math all day long, but if you never actually show it to the screen, you won't see anything. If you're getting started and want to see some numbers, it's easier to show numbers as hexadecimal than in base ten.

PrintHex:
;input: al = byte to print
push ax
   ;if you're running this on an 80186 or later you can use shr al,4
   ;this is just for backwards compatibility with original IBM PCs
   shr al,1    
   shr al,1
   shr al,1
   shr al,1
   call PrintHexByte
pop ax
and al,0Fh
;fallthrough is intentional here.

PrintHexByte:
cmp al,0Ah
jc noCorrectHex
add al,07h    ;go from 3Ah to 41h, 3Bh to 42h, etc.
noCorrectHex:
add al,30h    ;convert digit to ascii
mov dl,al
mov ah,02h
int 21h

I did find an answer to the problem. I'll leave it here if anybody needs it, the program divides 2 numbers (2 digits numbers)

    ansprint macro res
    mov dl,res
    add dl,30h
    mov ah,02h
    int 21h        
    endm


    data segment
    msg1 db "Enter  one number $"
msg2 db 10,13,"Enter  second number $"
msg3 db 10,13,"result =  $"
msgdecimal db ".$"
a db 0
b db ?
decimal db 10 dup(0)    
data ends
                         
code segment
assume cs:code,ds:data
start:
            mov ax,data
            mov ds,ax
           
            ;displaying the message
            mov dx,offset msg1
            mov ah,09h
            int 21h
           
            ;taking the 1st input number
            mov ah,01h
            int 21h
            sub al,30h
            mov bh,al
            mov ah,01h
            int 21h
            sub al,30h
            mov bl,al
           
            ;combing two numbers

            mov bx,ax

            mov dx,offset msg2
