Part 2: Closed Book/2 Pages of Notes (25 pts) NAME LlA.tc{ trJt,
Using the INCHAR and OUTA subroutines write a program that inputs two ASCn
numbers between 0 and 9. Your program should check and make sure that the keyboard
input is a valid number between (0-9). Once your program has determined that the key
entered is a valid number, it should echo it to the screen. Next, your program should
compute A(.L:f1 0-4 :::.~J-?:'"

Result = INumber 1 - Numher2 I where I I is equal to the absolute value.

Finally, your program should output the result to the screen as an ASCII number.
