I am getting this error: inline assembler syntax error in 'opcode'; found '('

I don't know where I have gone wrong.

What I have tried:

The code is:

for (i = 0; items[i] != 0; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j <= items[i]; j++)
printChar('*');
}

(note: items is a pointer to an address)

Why open a new question, rather than asking at the solution that I gave in your previous one. And, as a number of people have mentioned, stop using assembler, it does nothing useful.

Solution 2

Take the lines which switch you into and output assembler out of your C code:

__asm

Looking at your previous question: How do I print a certain number of stars in C programming?[^]
I'd say you don't need any assembler - you only ever need it for very specific things you can't do in C - and a simple exercise like this should never need assembler code!

Solution 1

Lose the second for loop with the variable j. There is no need for that.

Also, there is no need for this to be inline assembler. That is all C code.

The second loop is necessary. I provided this code as a suggestion in OP's previous question.
