Answer:

section .data

prompt db "Enter a number: ", 0

result db "Result: ", 0

formatin db "%d", 0

formatout db "%d", 10, 0

section .bss

num resd 1

section .text

global _start

_start:

; Display prompt

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, prompt

mov edx, 15

int 0x80

; Read integer from standard input

mov eax, 3

mov ebx, 0

mov ecx, num

mov edx, 4

int 0x80

; Multiply by 2

mov eax, [num]

add eax, eax

mov [num], eax

; Display result

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, result

mov edx, 8

int 0x80

mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1

mov ecx, [num]

mov edx, 4

int 0x80

; Exit program

mov eax, 1

xor ebx, ebx

int 0x80

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how the code works:

The code defines several data sections, including a prompt string, a result string, and a space in memory to store the input integer.

The _start label indicates the beginning of the program.

The program displays the prompt string to ask the user to input a number.

The program reads the integer from standard input and stores it in the num memory location.

The program multiplies the integer by 2 by adding it to itself.

The program displays the result string and the multiplied integer to standard output.

The program exits.
