Can someone convert this ASM code to C?

[hockey97]

Hi, I  am learning ASM x86 and got this code for an example. I would like if someone could convert it from ASM to C or C++. Also explain what each line does.

I am new here and I know the basics of ASM. I am now trying to learn how to translate ASM code to C or a higher language.

Here's the code:

UnknownFunction:
    MOV EDI,EDI
    PUSH EBP
    MOV EBP,ESP
    MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+8]
    XOR EDX,EDX
    LEA ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+4]
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX],EDX
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[ECX+4],ECX
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[ECX],ECX
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+C],ECX
    MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+C]
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+18],ECX
    MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+10]
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+1C],ECX
    MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+14]
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+20],ECX
    MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+18]
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+14],EDX
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+10],EDX
    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+24],ECX
    POP EBP
    RETN 14


All I know is that it's pushing stuff off and on a stack. It has pointers and uses exclusive or conditional statement.

I am guessing that RETN 14 is the same as returning 0 in C or C++.
This whole thing is a function.

I am sure, you won't learn assembly programming by the use of reverse engeneering!

I think, Your "quessing" is a bit wrong. It pops 14 bytes off the stack and only then - returns. Returns value that is stored into eax.

Thanks, bye.

So, then how would you write that in C or C++?

I have seen a couple applications that can do that but the code you will get will not be anything similar to the original code. I just complete an assignment about conversion of ASM to C with the help of genuine essay writing service, but i can't follow the method described in it. I think that to call assembly from C, you simply use the normal C syntax for a function call. This assumes, of course, that the assembly function was written using the C calling conventions.

I'm absolutely agree with you .
