fix this MASM 8086 CODE (DO NOT USE CHATGPT and DONT COPY PASTE)
so, we have to figure whether number entered is armstrong or not and range is 500 now whatever i enter let it be 371, it is always taken as not armstrong so can you fix my code? I used CHATGPT 4 so in case you do use that then you are doing the exact opposite of what i said, so kindly answer it and fix it
