Every software program is written in a programming language, and there are several languages for every major CPU series; typically an assembly language and a number of high-level languages.

Executing the resulting program outputs the desired machine language into a desired file format. It is very easy to set up, and in the middle, there’s a nice C program that emits machine code.

Designing an Accessible Language Although the TIS-100 logline mentions assembly language programming, the language used in the game itself is not quite like any real assembly language.

This week, [Al Williams] wrote a great thought piece about whether or not it was worth learning an assembly language at all anymore, and when. The comments overflowed, and we’re surprised that ...

Components of Assembly Language Syntax When writing any code in any program language, there is an observable, specific order of rules that must be followed to allow a compiler to execute the code ...

Max, I enjoyed reading your article. Interestingly, no one commented on microcode, which is “bare metal” programming. I learned about this in the mid-80's while microcode programming an Adage graphics ...

Ones and zeros became assembly language. Assembly became Fortran, Cobol, and C. These languages compiled down to assembly. Then we added API levels like Windows that drove graphical user interfaces.

The input is a valid assembly program.<BR><BR>I plan to write this assembly language interpreter/compiler in C++. I am fairly proficient in C++, but I have no idea how to organize this program.

Randall Hyde has taught assembly language programming at the university level for more than a decade and his Web site, Webster: The Place on the Net to Learn Assembly Language Programming, is one of ...
