; Problem statement:
;Write a program that inputs a string of characters
;(using a loop) and stores each character in an array.
;Redisplay the array at the end of the program.

INCLUDE Irvine16.inc

.data
COUNT = 20
charArray db COUNT dup(0),0

.code
main proc
    mov ax,@data
    mov ds,ax

    mov  cx,COUNT

L1:	mov  ah,1      ; input character with echo
    int  21h       ; AL = character
    mov  [si],al   ; save in array
    inc  si        ; next array position
    Loop L1        ; repeat loop

; Redisplay the array on the screen

    call Crlf      ; start new line
    mov  si,offset charArray
    mov  cx,COUNT

L2: mov  ah,2      ; character output
    mov  dl,[si]   ; get char from array
    int  21h       ; display the character
    inc  si
    Loop L2
