I have to make a program in assembly language that will count the space between two letters in the alphabet. So A to D is 2 in between. I'm killing myself here lmao.

wouldnt you buiild a database of each letter and give it a value (1,2,3,etc) and just do = A - Z = 25 or some s***.

Better off asking Stack Overflow than KTT breh lol

Not sure what low level language you’re using, but one thing that may help is thinking about how chars are represented.

Like in C where you can get the ascii value of a char by subtracting ‘a’, it would definitely be easy to find the difference between two chars if you could subtract them

Maybe you can take inspiration from a more known exercise, such as the caesar cipher? It plays with a very similar concept.

lmfao 2 real

I need to be better at this

At what precisely? I’m not good at assembly either, but I know what kind of resources I need to progress.

Just programming in general. I was doing okay taking python classes in college but fell off shortly after

I’m sure you’re able to pick it up again and improve! There are a bunch of good online courses that you can follow to get knowledge, such as cs50. Have a look at it, if you like! :)
