Assembly: Code Template
The general template for designing an Assembly code program
TITLE
COMMENT |
|
.MODEL SMALL
.STACK 100H
.DATA
.CODE
.486
INCLUDE io.mac
main PROC
.STARTUP
done:
.EXIT
main ENDP
END main
-after title commonly listed is the name of the current file possibly including the path
-placed between the | | are comments describing the program
-model type SMALL describes code which only points within it's own scope, or uses extern with path name s.
-under .DATA goes your pre-defined terms, such as global variables and strings to be output
-under .CODE goes the actual code of your program
-.486 describes the type of program, if you wish to include ONLY 8086 type you may also choose .386
-the include here allows for read and write of IO properties from the keyboard (standard IO)
-main is only a standard name , it can be any name .STARTUP is a label to denote the beginning of the program code
-done: is a label showing a method beginning. Assembly works top down ignoring labels, but is a relative term to be used in jmp statements.
-.EXIT exits the program
-end PROC denotes the end of a process or program
