There are several ways you can further improve the program to make it more robust, user-friendly, and feature-
rich. Here are some suggestions:

1. Enhanced Input Validation


Ensure that the input consists only of valid numeric characters and handle cases where the input is not a
valid number.

2. Support for Floating-Point Numbers

Modify the program to handle floating-point arithmetic operations, which would involve using the x87 FPU
or SSE instructions.

3. User-Friendly Interface
Improve the user interface by providing clearer prompts and instructions.
Allow the user to input numbers and operations in a single line (e.g., 5 + 3).

4. Loop for Continuous Operations

Allow the user to perform multiple calculations in a loop until they choose to exit.

5. Extended Arithmetic Operations

Add support for more complex operations like exponentiation, modulus, and bitwise operations.

6. Error Messages and Handling

Provide more detailed error messages for different types of errors (e.g., invalid input, division by zero).
Implement a mechanism to recover from errors and allow the user to try again.

Example of Some Improvements

Here’s an example incorporating some of these improvements:


section .data
prompt db "Enter an expression (e.g., 5 + 3): ", 0
result_msg db "Result: ", 0
newline db 10, 0
error_msg db "Error: Invalid input or operation", 0

section .bss
input resb 20
result resb 20

section .text
global _start

_start:
; Main loop
.loop:
; Print prompt
mov rax, 1
mov rdi, 1
mov rsi, prompt
mov rdx, 32
syscall

; Read input
mov rax, 0
mov rdi, 0
mov rsi, input
mov rdx, 20
syscall

; Parse input
call parse_input
test rax, rax
jz .error

; Perform operation
call perform_operation
test rax, rax
jz .error

; Print result message


mov rax, 1
mov rdi, 1
mov rsi, result_msg
mov rdx, 8
syscall

; Print result
mov rax, 1
mov rdi, 1
mov rsi, result
mov rdx, 20
syscall

; Print newline
mov rax, 1
mov rdi, 1
mov rsi, newline
mov rdx, 1
syscall

jmp .loop

.error:
; Print error message
mov rax, 1
mov rdi, 1
mov rsi, error_msg
mov rdx, 28
syscall
jmp .loop

parse_input:
; Parse the input string and extract numbers and operator
; (This is a simplified example and may need more robust parsing)
; Assume input format: "num1 op num2"
mov rsi, input
call str_to_int
mov rbx, rax

; Skip spaces and operator


mov al, byte [rsi]
cmp al, ' '
je .skip_space
ret
.skip_space:
inc rsi
mov al, byte [rsi]
cmp al, '+'
je .add
cmp al, '-'
je .sub
cmp al, '*'
je .mul
cmp al, '/'
je .div
ret
.add:
mov byte [operation], '+'
jmp .get_num2
.sub:
mov byte [operation], '-'
jmp .get_num2
.mul:
mov byte [operation], '*'
jmp .get_num2
.div:
mov byte [operation], '/'
jmp .get_num2

.get_num2:
inc rsi
call str_to_int
mov rcx, rax
mov rax, 1
ret

perform_operation:
; Perform the operation based on the parsed input
mov al, byte [operation]
cmp al, '+'
je .add_op
cmp al, '-'
je .sub_op
cmp al, '*'
je .mul_op
cmp al, '/'
je .div_op
ret
.add_op:
add rbx, rcx
jmp .store_result
.sub_op:
sub rbx, rcx
jmp .store_result
.mul_op:
imul rbx, rcx
jmp .store_result
.div_op:
cmp rcx, 0
je .error
xor rdx, rdx
div rcx
jmp .store_result

.store_result:
mov rax, rbx
call int_to_str
mov [result], rax
mov rax, 1
ret

str_to_int:
; Convert string to integer
xor rax, rax
xor rbx, rbx
mov bl, byte [rsi]
cmp bl, '-'
jne .convert
inc rsi
mov bl, 1
.convert:
xor rcx, rcx
.loop:
mov cl, byte [rsi]
cmp cl, 0
je .done
sub cl, '0'
imul rax, rax, 10
add rax, rcx
inc rsi
jmp .loop
.done:
test bl, bl
jz .end
neg rax
.end:
ret

int_to_str:
; Convert integer to string
mov rbx, rax
mov rsi, result
mov byte [rsi], 0
add rsi, 19
.loop2:
xor rdx, rdx
div rbx, 10
add dl, '0'
dec rsi
mov [rsi], dl
test rbx, rbx
jnz .loop2
ret

Explanation of Improvements
1. Enhanced Input Handling:

The program now reads the entire expression in one go (e.g., 5 + 3).
The parse_input function extracts the numbers and the operator from the input string.

2. Support for Multiple Operations:

The perform_operation function handles addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division based on
the parsed operator.

3. Error Handling:

The program provides more detailed error messages and handles invalid input or operations
gracefully.

4. Loop for Continuous Operations:

The program runs in a loop, allowing the user to perform multiple calculations without restarting the
program.

Feel free to experiment with these improvements and add more features as needed! If you have any specific
requirements or further questions, let me know!
