Same :D
Given that the task is very specific I'd say it is, as it is performant and the code is readable.
If you had to, for example, generate neighbors up to a variable distance n received as a parameter of the function, that would be a different story.
n
return the count
Do I have to return a table as the example shows?
The usual wording in math problems like this would be "non-negative". The description could either make an exception for 0, or just change "positive" to "non-negative" and give a clear example.
0
0 is neither positive or negative, so...
0 just can't be positive in standard math, so it has to be reworded somehow instead.
NASM Translation
Wonder if this is really a best practice, although it completely satisfies the task... Well done.
