This is great, thank you so much for posting!

Being me & programming in another assembler for a number of years, I would have done a shift left. But it probably isn't any faster.

Which software you used to perform the hold task?

So when using a loop, it will exit the loop once the counter (ecx) gets to 0? Also, is there any keyword to break a loop and continue the rest of the program?

Great video! Does the registers we use change when we use the loop for array? (such as filling an array).

[markmartin]

Isn't the source the left register and the destination the right register?

Is it just me or is the entire video muted?
