ADDITIONAL NOTES: ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE

OPERATION INFORMATION EXAMPLE NOTES

MOV Assign values. MOV a, = 3 not to be used with R,
MOV only if permitted by
destination, the target machine
source architecture
LOD Load data into LOD R1, a must use with R

STO Store data STO RI, T1 must use with R
from register
to variable
PUSH Push value on PUSH a
top of stack
CALL Call function CALL println
CMP Compare not to be used with R
between two not to be used with
values direct numbers
ARITHMETIC OPERATION
ADD Add numbers ADD R1, b must use with R
SUB Subtract SUB R1, b must use with R
