FACTORIAL OF A NUMBER
AIM: To write assembly language program to find factorial of a number
APPARATUS: [Link] software
[Link]
REGISTERS USED: AX,BX,CS,DS
FLAGS EFFECTED: ZERO FLAG
ALGORITHM:
1. Initialse the data segment
2. Move the value 0001 to AX register
3. Move value 0005 toBX register
4. Multiply AX with BX and move to AX
5. Decrement BX value by one
6. Jump if not zero to repeat
7. Move AX value to result [0000]
8. Move 4C value to AH register

4. Type debug [Link] and press enter.
5. Press command ‘U’ and note down the code table
6. Trace the program by typing command ‘T’until INT 21H
7. Type eds: offset address of input/output variables for obtain the result.
8. Type ‘q’ command for Quit the program
OBSERVATIONS:
INPUT: 05H
OUTPUT: 78H(120)
Result: HENCE FACTORIAL OF A NUMBER IS OBTAINED USING MASM
