I am in an assembly language course and need to do the following:

1. Write code that defines symbolic constants for all seven days of the week.
2. Create an array variable that uses the symbols as initializers

Here is my code so far:

MON EQU <"Monday", 0>
TUE EQU <"Tuesday", 0>
WED EQU <"Wednesday", 0>
THU EQU <"Thursday", 0>
FRI EQU <"Friday", 0>
SAT EQU <"Saturday", 0>
SUN EQU <"Sunday", 0>

.data
    array BYTE MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT,SUN

I found this post on StackOverflow that said:

Ok, there are a few ways to declare a string in MASM: First, you can declare the string in the data segment and use the variable throughout your code.

stringName BYTE "Hello, this is a string", 0

To declare a string constant you can use the EQU or TEXTEQU directive. Both are declared before the data segment in the global scope.

constantString EQU <"Hello, string content", 0>

I also found this post on StackOverflow that said the following:

An array of strings is not a continuous block of strings, it is a continuous block of pointers to strings. The strings can be anywhere.

arrayOfWords  DWORD  OFFSET strBicycle, 
                     OFFSET strCanoe,
                     OFFSET strSkateboard,
                     OFFSET strOffside,
                     OFFSET strTennis

strBicycle    BYTE "BICYCLE",0 
strCanoe      BYTE "CANOE", 0
strSkateboard BYTE "SKATEBOARD", 0 
strOffside    BYTE "OFFSIDE", 0
strTennis     BYTE "TENNIS", 0

I have tried writing the following code:

.data
    array DWORD OFFSET MON,
            OFFSET TUE,
            OFFSET WED,
            OFFSET THU,
            OFFSET FRI,
            OFFSET SAT,
            OFFSET SUN

but this code fails to build with the following error:

1>AddTwo.asm(24): error A2084: constant value too large

Have I created string symbolic constants and an array of strings correctly?
