Exercises on Conditional Jumps
Finding the minimum
Find the minimum of 3 signed int variables a, b, and c
Loop until overflow
Print fibonacci numbers coded as unsigned words until the result overflows. Don't print erroneous numbers!
Scanning an array
Find the largest element of a 1-dimensional array of signed double-words.
Same question, but with unsigned double words.
Print 2-dimensional arrays
Write the code necessary for printing an array of chars (maze) using for-loops depending on i and j indexes.

maze db "################################"
maze2 db " # # # "
db "######### # # ####### # #"
db "# # # # #"
db "######### ##############"
db "# #### #"
db "################################"
C equ maze2-maze ; num of columns
R equ 7 ; num of rows
i dd 0
j dd 0
Characters and lower/upper case conversion
Convert a character to upper-case, no matter what ASCII code it contains (You may want to look at makeUpper.asm.
Long/short jumps
Conditional jumps can jump only +127 bytes down, -128 bytes up in the code. How can we code something like this:
cmp eax,10
jl there
...
...
there: ...
when the instruction at Label there is 1000 bytes away from the jl conditional jump?
