I am working on a project for a class and it works in accordance with the requirements of the rubric, although I am wondering if there is a slightly better way to implement several things. I was ashamed of a few points for the unnecessary "mov" in another project. Here is the problem 1.
"If-else (34 points): Write a program that asks the user to enter one digit. If this digit is less than 5, you must indicate this and you will add 5 to it and save it in a variable; if the digit is greater than 5, you must indicate so, then subtract 5 from it and save it in a variable, and if the number is 5, you add 3 to it and specify it and save it in a variable. "
