The task to the school

If I changed the var to c1 it assembles perfectly.

My sincere apology. If I had tested the submitted code as is, I would also have received the error message and I would have known immediately what to change. I have observed myself in the past that "c" cannot be used as a variable name although most (if not all) other single letters present no problem.

Maybe someone has a logical explanation why MASM rejects the use of "c".

Thanks for the quick reply and the explanation.

Possibly the same reason it rejects Basic,Pascal,and Fortran.
