Symbolic Integer and Text Constants

This is a practice with symbolic constant definitions either using integers or strings. The requirement is as follows:

1. Write a program that defines symbolic constants for all seven days of the week

- Define each integer value for symbol Monday, ..., Sunday to simulate C++ enumeration type

- In the data segment, create an array to uses these symbols as initializers

- Use $ operator to calculate the number of elements in the array

- In the code segment, watch the array count with a register

2. Write a program that defines symbolic names for several string literals

- Define three strings for symbol named like Message1, Message2, etc.

- In the data segment, use each symbolic name to initialize the string variables

- Try to use 0D and 0A, as well as a zero terminator in your definitions

- In the code segment, set a break point and when running in debug, you can watch your string memory
