    This assembly language program takes a character input from the user, converts it to its ASCII code, and prints out the binary representation of the ASCII code. It then asks the user if they want to quit or continue entering more characters. The key steps are: 1. It prompts the user to input a character and stores it in the AL register. 2. It prints out the character and the message "in binary is". 3. It uses a loop to iterate through each bit of the ASCII code stored in AL, printing 0s and 1s by testing and shifting the bit. 4. After printing the binary, it asks if the user wants to quit or continue entering more characters. If not quit
