putchar(key + 48); // display ascii value It's generally clearer to write:putchar(key + '0'); // display ascii value It's the same in asm, and any other language. You should write it as readable for the human as possible (oh yes, why C then? :-) ); don't care about the machine, it's a slave anyway :-) . mov a,key add a,#'0' call putchar Gosh, the above (if ((key >= 0) & (key <= 9))) is a perfect example. In asm, it's a bunch of absolutely unreadable cjne's. In C, it's a little bit more readable, but still a bunch of non-alphanumeric characters, still not really for human; I'd still call it "code" rather than "program". Pascal would perhaps say "if (key >= 0) and (key <= 9)", but, hey, Pascal might also say "if key in [0..9]", or, with a bit of preparation, also "if key in digits". JW, the C hater |
