Assembly Instructions
Assembly language instructions may involve mnemonics, labels,
variables, constants, and directives. Examples are as follows.

Define Byte, Word
• list db 10,20,30,40
will store the four values in consecutive locations. If the
offset of list is 0000, they will be stored in 0000, 0001,
0002, 0003, respectively. list refers to 0000, list+1 refers
to 0001, etc.
• Value1 dw
2AB6h
will place two bytes in consecutive locations with the low
order byte in the lower memory location as: B6 2A
3
Character or String Constants
• ‘ABC’
• “This is a test.”
• ‘This is my file.’
• Define a variable called message stored
at offset 0000 for any of the above.
For example: message db ‘ABC’.
• Then “B” of “ABC” is at offset 0001 and
“i” of “This …” is at offset 2
4
Pointer
Given:
message db ‘ABC’
;define 3 bytes
P
db message ;P points to message
The variable P contains the offset of
message

Addressing Modes

Example
mov ax,bx
Description
Effective address (EA) are
the registers
ax,[bx]
EA is the contents of a register
ax,[bp + 1]
EA is the sum of a base register
and a displacement
[di + 2],ax
EA is the sum of an index
register and a displacement
ax,[bx + si]
EA is the sum of a base register
and an index register
ax,[bx + si + 2] EA is the sum of a base
register, an index register and a
displacement

Based Index Addressing Example
Adding Bytes
In the following example of based indexed addressing, the contents of
16d bytes beginning at ds:1000h and ending with ds:100Fh are
accumulated in the al register.
cs:100 mov al,0
cs:102 mov cx,10h
cs:105 mov si,0
cs:108 mov bx,1000h
cs:10b add al,[bx + si]
cs:10d inc si
cs:11e1 loop 10bh
;initialize AL register
;set loop counter to 10h=16d
;set si=0
;set bx=1000h as offset address
;accum. contents of mem. loc. [bx+si]
;increment si
;return to add
12
Based Index Addressing Example
Adding Words
In the following example of based indexed addressing, the contents of
16d words beginning at ds:1000h and ending with ds:101Dh are
accumulated in the ax register.
cs:100 mov ax,0
cs:103 mov cx,10h
cs:106 mov si,0
cs:109 mov bx,1000h
cs:10c add ax,[bx + si]
cs:10e add si,2
cs:111 loop 10ch
;initialize AX register
;set loop counter to 10h=16d
;set si=0
;set bx=1000h as offset address
;accum. contents of mem. loc. [bx+si]
;increment si by 2
;return to add
13
Stack Operation
To save register contents before calling a subroutine:
;save register contents before calling subroutine
push ax
push bx
push cx
push dx
;restore register contents after returning from subroutine
pop
dx
pop
