A86: Re: OP1=OP1 binary to decimal
I don't know about the OPs, but if you can settle for registers, it's easy.
Just loop 8 times and shift right each time into the carry flag. If the
carry flag is set, then the next digit in binary is a 1. If not, then it's
a 0. Converting back is a little bit tougher, because you can't easily
store a binary number in a register (why would you, though). Assuming it's
in a string, as if converted from above, you do a reverse of above. Clear
the destination register, then go through the string. For each byte, shift
the register left and load the value of it ('0' = 48, '1' = 49) into the
first bit.
Converting binary to decimal and vice-versa is one thing where asm actually
IS easier than C...
