Title. 92-16665 CIP Printed in the United States of America 93 10 9876543 Introduction: Agony in the Key of AX What astonishes me about learning how to program is not that it's so hard, but that it's so easy. Am I nuts? Hardly. It's just that my curse is the curse of a perfect memory, and I remember piano lessons. My poor mother paid $600 in 1962 for a beautiful cherrywood spinet, and every week for two years I trucked off to Wilkins School of Music for a five dollar lesson. It wasn't that I was a reluctant student; I love music and I genuinely wanted to master the damned thing. But after two years, the best I could do was play "Camelot" well enough to keep the dog from howling. I can honestly say that nothing I ever tried file:///E|/TEMP/Assembly%20LanguageChapt%200.htm (4 of 23) [9/30/02 08:15:27 PM] file:///E|/TEMP/Assembly%20LanguageChapt%200.htm and failed to achieve after that (including engineering school and sailboarding) was anything close to that difficult. That's why I say: if you can play the piano, you can learn to program in assembly language. Even if you can't play the piano, I hold that you can learn to program in assembly language, if: • You've ever done your own long-form taxes • You've earned a degree in medicine, law, or engineering • You've ever put together your kid's swing set • You've ever cooked a five-course dinner for eight and gotten everything to the table, hot, at all the right times Still, playing the piano is the acid test. There are a lot more similarities than there are differences. To wit: In both cases, you sit down in front of a big expensive machine with a keyboard. You try to memorize a system of notation that seems to have originated on Mars. You press the keys according to incomprehensible instruc•tions in stacks of books. Ultimately, you sit there and grit your teeth while making so many mistakes your self-confidence dribbles out of your pores and disappears into the carpet padding. In many cases, it gets so bad that you hurl the books against the wall and stomp off to play Yahtzee with your little brother. The differences are fewer: mistakes committed while learning assembly language won't make the dog howl. And, more crucially, what takes years of agony in front of a piano can be done in a couple of months in front of your average PC. Furthermore, I'll do my best to help. That's what this book is for: to get you started as an assembly-language programmer from a dead stop. I'll assume that you know how to run your machine. That is, I won't go through all that nonsense about flipping the big red switch and inserting a disk in a drive and holding down the Ctrl key while pressing the C key. Van Wolverton can teach you all that stuff. On the other hand, I won't assume that you know anything about pro•gramming, nor very much about what happens inside the box itself. That means the first few sections will be the kind of necessary groundwork that will start you nodding off if you've been through it already. There's no helping that. Skip to Section 3 or so if you get bored. I also have to come clean here and admit that this book is not intended to be a complete tutorial on assembly language, or even close to it. What I want to do is get you familiar enough with the jargon and the assumptions of assembly language so that you can pick up your typical "introduction" to assembly language and not get lost by page 6. I specifically recommend Tom Swan's excellent book, Mastering Turbo Assembler, which will take file:///E|/TEMP/Assembly%20LanguageChapt%200.htm (5 of 23) [9/30/02 08:15:27 PM] file:///E|/TEMP/Assembly%20LanguageChapt%200.htm you the rest of the way if you use Borland's assembler. A comparable book devoted to Microsoft's MASM has not yet been written, but even if you use MASM, Tom's book will still be valuable and you'll learn a lot from it. Mastering Turbo Assembler can occasionally be found in bookstores, or you can order it by mail through PC TECHNIQUES Bookstream. Assembly language is almost certainly the most difficult kind of computer programming, but keep in mind that we're speaking in relative terms here. Five pushups are harder to do than five jumping jacks—but compared to running the Marathon, both amount to almost nothing. Assembly language is more difficult to learn than Pascal, but compared to raising your average American child from birth to five years, it's a cakewalk. So don't let the mystique get you. Assembly-language programmers feel pretty smug about what they've learned to do, but in our workaday lives we are forced to learn and do things that put even assembly language to shame. If you're willing to set aside a couple months' worth of loose moments, you can pick it up too. Give it a shot. Your neighbors will thank you. And so will the dog. —-Jeff Duntemann Scottsdale, AZ March 1992 A Note to People Who Have Never Programmed Before More than anyone else, this book was written for you. Starting with assembly language would not be most people's first choice in a computer language, but it's been done; it can be done, and it can be done with less agony than you might think. Still, it's a novel aim for a computer book, and I'd like you to do a little quality control for me and tell me how I'm doing. While you're going through this book, ask yourself once in a while: is it working? And if file:///E|/TEMP/Assembly%20LanguageChapt%200.htm (6 of 23) [9/30/02 08:15:27 PM] file:///E|/TEMP/Assembly%20LanguageChapt%200.htm not, why not? If I lose you somewhere in the discussion, jot a note in the margin. Tell me where I lost you. If possible, tell me why. (And saying, "I just don't get it" is perfectly acceptable, as long as you tell me where in the book you were when you started not to get it.) As with all my books, I hope to keep this one in print well into the 21st century, revising it as need be to hone my technique and follow the technol•ogy. Telling me how the book works or doesn't work will, in time, help me make a better book. Write to me at: Jeff Duntemann PC TECHNIQUES Magazine 7721 E. Gray Road #204 Scottsdale, A2 85260 I can't reply individually to all letters, (not if I ever intend to get another book written!) but you'll have my eternal gratitude nonetheless. How to Get the Most from this Book By design, this is a serial-access book. I wrote it to be read like one of those bad/wonderful novels, starting at page one and moving right along to the end. Virtually all of the chapters depend on the chapters that came before them, and if you read a chapter here and a chapter there, there's some danger that the whole thing won't gel.

  • 2. Assembly Language Assembly Language Is a Programming Language That Is Very Similar to Machine Language, but Uses Symbols Instead of Binary Numbers
    2. Assembly Language Assembly Language is a programming language that is very similar to machine language, but uses symbols instead of binary numbers. It is converted by the assembler into executable machine- language programs. Assembly language is machine-dependent; an assembly program can only be executed on a particular machine. 2.1 Introduction to Assembly Language Tools Practical assembly language programs can, in general, be written using one of the two following methods: 1- The full-segment definition form 2- The simplified segment definition form In both methods, the source program includes two types of instructions: real instructions, and pseudo instructions. Real instructions such as MOV and ADD are the actual instructions that are translated by the assembler into machine code for execution by the CPU. Pseudo instructions, on the other hand, don’t generate machine code and are only used to give directions to the assembler about how it should translate the assembly language instructions into machine code. The assembler program converts the written assembly language file (called source file) into machine code file (called object file). Another program, known as the linker, converts the object file into an executable file for practical run. It also generates a special file called the map file which is used to get the offset addresses of the segments in the main assembly program as shown in figure 1. Other tools needed in assembling coding include a debugger, and an editor as shown in figure 2 Figure 2. Program Development Procedure There are several commercial assemblers available like the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM), and the Borland Turbo Assembler (TASM).

  • Lab # 1 Introduction to Assembly Language
    Assembly Language LAB Islamic University – Gaza Engineering Faculty Department of Computer Engineering 2013 ECOM 2125: Assembly Language LAB Eng. Ahmed M. Ayash Lab # 1 Introduction to Assembly Language February 11, 2013 Objective: To be familiar with Assembly Language. 1. Introduction: Machine language (computer's native language) is a system of impartible instructions executed directly by a computer's central processing unit (CPU). Instructions consist of binary code: 1s and 0s Machine language can be made directly from java code using interpreter. The difference between compiling and interpreting is as follows. Compiling translates the high-level code into a target language code as a single unit. Interpreting translates the individual steps in a high-level program one at a time rather than the whole program as a single unit. Each step is executed immediately after it is translated. C, C++ code is executed faster than Java code, because they transferred to assembly language before machine language. 1 Using Visual Studio 2012 to convert C++ program to assembly language: - From File menu >> choose new >> then choose project. Or from the start page choose new project. - Then the new project window will appear, - choose visual C++ and win32 console application - The project name is welcome: This is a C++ Program that print "Welcome all to our assembly Lab 2013” 2 To run the project, do the following two steps in order: 1.
