  1. Overview • Basic Elements of Assembly Language • Sample Hello Program • Assembling, Linking and Debugging • Data Allocation Directives • Symbolic Constants • Data Transfer Instructions • Arithmetic Instructions • Basic Operand Types Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  2. Basic Elements of Assembly Language • Constants and Expressions • Numeric Literals • Character or String constant • Statements • Names • Labels for Variables • Code Labels Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  3. Numeric Literals (Constants) • A numeric literal is any combination of digits, plus: • optional decimal point, exponent, sign • examples of decimal literals: 5234 5.5 -5.5 26.0E+05 +35d Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  4. Numeric Literals • Use a radix symbol (suffix) to select binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal 6A15h ; hexadecimal 0BAF1h ; leading zero required 32q ; octal 1011b ; binary 35d ; decimal (default) Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  5. Symbolic Constant (Integer) • Defined using the = operator • Must evaluate to a 16-bit integer • or 32-bit integer when .386 directive used COUNT = 25 ROWS = 10 tablePos = ROWS * 5 Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  6. Constant Expression • Combination of numeric literals, operators, and defined symbolic constants • must be evaluated at assembly time • examples: 4 * 20 -3 * 4 / 6 ROWS - 3 ; (ROWS is a constant) COUNT MOD 5 Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  7. Statements • Label, mnemonic, operands, comment • one statement per line • name and comment are optional • operands depend on the instruction • Example.... Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  8. Statement Example mnemonic Operands Label ; Code Here: mov ax,count ; Data, using DW directive myArray dw 1000h,2000h dw 3000h,4000h Comment Data name Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  9. The Hello World Program • title Hello World Program         (hello.asm) • ; This program displays “Hello, world!” • .model small • .stack 100h • .data • message db “Hello, world!”,0dh,0ah,’$’ • .code • main proc •     mov  ax,@data •     mov  ds,ax •     mov  ah,9 •     mov  dx,offset message •     int  21h •     mov  ax,4C00h •     int  21h • main endp • end main Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  10. Sample Hello Program program title (comment) • title Hello World Program         (hello.asm) • ; This program displays “Hello, world!” • .model small • .stack 100h comment line memory model set the stack size Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  11. Sample Hello Program starts the data segment • .data • message db “Hello, world!”,0dh,0ah,’$’ • .code • main proc •     mov  ax,@data •     mov  ds,ax •     mov  ah,9 •     mov  dx,offset message •     int  21h •     mov  ax,4C00h •     int  21h • main endp • end main starts the code segment sets DS to the offset of the data segment calls DOS display function 9 halts program Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  12. Common Assembler Directives Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  13. Assemble-Link-Execute Cycle Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  14. Files Created by the Assembler and Linker Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  15. Data Allocation Directives Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  16. Define Byte (DB) • Create data having a byte attribute • one or more bytes may be defined together • can mix different data representations • can assign a starting value .data char1 db 'A' signed1 db -128 combo db 'A',-10, 30h, 40q, 1101b list db 10,20,30,40 aString db "Hello there",0 count db ? ; uninitialized Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  17. DUP Operator • Use DUP to create an array • each element is assigned the same value .data arrayB db 30 dup(10h) array2 db 10 DUP(?) ; uninitialized array3 db 5 Dup(0), 33h Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  18. Define Word (DW) • Create data having a word attribute • can mix different data representations • can use integer expressions • can contain 16-bit offset of another variable .data wordVal dw 1234h,5000h,65535, -24 signed1 db 35 * 4 aString dw "AB" ptr1 dw offset wordval Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)

  19. Define Doubleword (DD) • Create one or more 32-bit integers • doubleword attribute .data largeVal dd 12345678h array dd 100 dup(?) smallVals dd -1,-2,-3,-4,-5 Irvine: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (1999)
