Introduction

After discussing a few essential directives, program development tools and simple programs, let us discuss more about assembly language programs. In this unit, we will learn about simple assemble programs, which fulfil simple tasks such as data transfer, arithmetic operations and shift operations. A key example here will be finding the larger of two numbers.

Objectives

After going through this unit, you should be able to:

• write assembly programs with simple arithmetic logical and shift operations;
• implement loops
• use comparisons for implementing various comparison functions;
• write simple assembly programs for code conversion and;
• for implementing arrays
