The commands you need to rotate a Byte/Word are:
ROR, ROL, RCR, RCL.
ROR ==> Rotates the bits the number of times specified, so that the
rightmost bits are rotated into the leftmost bits. NO BITS
ARE LOST. ROL is the same thing in the opposite direction.
RCR ==> Practically the same as the ROR/ROL instruction, but it rotates
the bit into the carry, and the carry bit is rotated into the
leftmost bit of the Byte/Word. {Rotate right through carry}
RCL is the same in the other direction.
The format For each of ROR,ROL,RCR,RCL,SHR,SHL is
[Instruction]
To reWrite your original code:
Asm
Mov AL, ByteVar
Ror AL, 1
Mov ByteVar, AL
end
The above would rotate the bits in the Variable ByteVar by one to the right.
