How do i fix the equivalent value of this code? : Using tasm/tlink/dosbox in notepad

Time:06-02

I'll trying to code Bases, I'm trying to code using bases but when I encode there is a correct equivalent value appearing but there are more incorrect equivalents. What wrong in my code?

My code: Needs to type 2 digits and based on the required base range and the equivalent base will appear. If you notice that I don't have any comparing to find out if base 3 or the required base needs to be input, I'll put it next but first I have to think about what's wrong with the logic of my code.

My Code in notepad :

.model small
.stack 100h
.data
    
    Spc     db 0dh,0ah, " $"                                                ;New Line
    
    ;Bases Conversion
    ConT    db 0dh,0ah, "   Conversion  $"                                  ;Conversion Title
    ConBs3  db 0dh,0ah, "Base 3  to Base 5  "                           
            db 0dh,0ah,0dh,0ah, "Base 3 [00 to 22] : $"                     ;Enter Base 03 Number
    EqBs3       db 0dh,0ah, "Base 5 Equivalent : $"                         ;Equivalent Base 05
    
    ConBs4  db 0dh,0ah, "Base 4  to Base 5  "                           
            db 0dh,0ah,0dh,0ah, "Base 4 [00 to 33] : $"                     ;Enter Base 04 Number
    EqBs4       db 0dh,0ah, "Base 5 Equivalent : $"                         ;Equivalent Base 05
    
    ConBs5  db 0dh,0ah, "Base 5  to Base 4  "                           
            db 0dh,0ah,0dh,0ah, "Base 5 [00 to 44] : $"                     ;Enter Base 05 Number
    EqBs5       db 0dh,0ah, "Base 4 Equivalent : $"                         ;Equivalent Base 04

Building the number is faulty

mov ah,01h
int 21h                     ;1st Digit
sub al,30h

mov ah,01h

The first digit that you input it the Most Significant Digit ands that is the digit that you need to multiply by the number base. Your code is erroneously multiplying the Least Significant Digit!

    mov ah, 01h
    int 21h        ; 1st Digit
    sub al, 30h
    mov cl, 3      ; Radix
    mul cl
    mov ch, al     ; -> CH = MostSignificantDigit * Radix
    
    mov ah, 01h
    int 21h        ; 2nd Digit
    sub al, 30h
    add ch, al     ; -> CH = MostSignificantDigit * Radix   LeastSignificantDigit

Same for the other number bases too.
