hello
I am trying to make a program to interlace 2 vectors in assembler and I have a problem
I will probably have more until the end
but here is the deal

a db '13579'
la equ $-a
b db '2468'
lb equ $-b

c db (la+lb) dup(?)

so I now have 2 sorted vectors a and b and I want to put their elements sorted into the vector c

so, to write a value to the vecor c I use

mov c,bx

which of course is worng

so how should I do it?

I am also pasting the full source here so you can maby point out the thousands of other mistakes I undoubtely have:

.model small
.stack 100h

.data

a db '13579'
la equ $-a
b db '2468'
lb equ $-b

c db (la+lb) dup(?)

.code

mov dx,@data
mov ds,dx

xor si,si
xor di,di

xor cx,cx

cicluprincipal:

mov al,la
mov ah,0
mov bl,lb
mov bh,0

cmp ax,bx
jge maimareegal

mov c,ax

inc cx
mov dl,la
mov dh,0
cmp di,dx
jg tiparb
inc si
jmp cicluprincipal

maimareegal:

mov c,bx
inc cx
mov dl,la
mov dh,0
cmp di,dx
jg tipara

inc di

jmp cicluprincipal

tiparb: ;tipareste tot ce e in b
inc di
mov bl,b
mov bh,0

mov c,bx

cmp cx,bx
jg exit

inc cx
jmp tiparb

tipara: ;tipareste tot ce e in a 
inc si
mov bl,a
mov bh,0

mov c,bx

cmp cx,bx
jg exit

inc cx
jmp tipara





mov ax,4ch
int 21h
end

thank you in advance

Although, if the vectors you're "interlacing" (or "merging") are already sorted, you can just use a merge algorithm like what's used in merge sort.
