; Plan
; Iterate String From Starting to End, Until 0 bit found (End).
; Then, Simply Subtract The Ending Memory Address From Starting memory
; address to find the length of string.
;
; Routine
_start:
 mov eax, string  ; Now, EAX points to starting of string
 mov ebx, string  ; Now, EBX also points to starting of String

; Iterate Routine
_iterate:
 cmp  byte[eax], 0 ; Compare EAX first Byte with 0, if equal then set zero flag else pass
 jz _length  ; If Zero flag is set, then follow _lenth routine else pass
 inc eax  ; increase EAX += 1
 jmp _iterate ; Repeat

; Length 
_length:
 sub eax, ebx ; EAX = EBX - EAX [Difference Between memory Address of Starting and Ending Point ]
 mov edx, eax ; Set length of string
 mov  eax, 4  ; invoke SYS_WRITE
 mov ebx, 1  ; STDOUT
 mov ecx, string ; Set Memory address
 int 80h   ; kernel interpt
 call _exit  ; exit routine


; Exit Routine
_exit:
 mov eax, 1 ; Invoke SYS_EXIT 
 mov ebx, 0 ; Return Value
 int 80h  ; kernel interpt

; Plan
; Iterate String From Starting to End, Until 0 bit found (End).
; Also Keep Record, The Number of times of iteration Routine.
; This Iteration Register will denote the length of string
;

; Routine Start
_start:
 mov eax, string  ; mov string starting point memory address to EAX 
 mov ebx, 0  ; SET EBX = 0

; Routine iterate
_iterate:
 sub byte[eax], 0 ; Compare EAX first byte with 0, if equal set zero flag to 1 else set zero flag to 0
 jz _gotit  ; if Zerof flag is 1, Follow _gotit Routine, Else pass
 inc eax   ; Increase EAX
 inc ebx   ; keep record, Number of String Characters Checked
 jmp _iterate  ; Repeat

; Routine When, String End Found
_gotit:
 mov edx, ebx  ; set EDX = EBX [Length of String]
 mov eax, 4  ; invoke SYS_Write
 mov ebx, 1  ; STDOUT
 mov ecx, string  ; Move String Memory Address To ECX
 int 80h   ; kernel interpt
 call _exit  ; Follow Exit Routine

; Exit Routine
_exit:
 mov eax, 1 ; Invoke SYS_EXIT
 mov ebx, 0 ; Return Value
