Question

Your assignment is to write an assembly language program which read a string and print it in uppercase. This program asks the user to enter a string which is subsequently displayed in uppercase. It is important to first ensure that string to be converted is in the a-z range. The program does not recognize any space, symbols or any kind of punctuation marks. Any time the user enters any of this character the program is going to repeatedly ask for the valid string. An example execution of your program could be:________
