      Chapter 1 - Introduction to Assembly Language

      This chapter presents a brief introduction in assembly. The needed concepts in starting assembly programming were discussed to solve computer science related problems.

      Definition of Assembly Language

      Assembly language is a low-level and the most basic programming language available for any processor. In assembly, a programmer works directly on operations implemented on the computer's processor. Due to the nature of assembly language, it lacks high-level programming convenience since its far from human language like other high-level programming languages does. With assembly language, instructions like JMP @X, MOV AH, 09D, JNZ, DEC and many others are the codes that programmers deals with. At first glance, this codes does not represent any English like words, so learning assembly language can be quite a challenge for beginners. These are called mnemonic codes that represent instructions and unlike other programming languages, in assembly, a certain code can have several meaning or instructions which make it even more difficult.

      Any computer has exactly two things on its foundation, a CPU and some Memory. These two makes computer programs run. The CPU reads the numbers one at a time, decodes them, and does what the numbers say, while the memory acts as the temporary storage location for the CPU. In assembly programming, programmers deal with instructions implemented directly on the CPU and memory.

      CPU REGISTERS

      CPU registers is a quickly accessible location available to a digital processor's central processing unit (CPU). Registers usually consist of a small amount of fast storage, although some registers have specific hardware functions, and may be read-only or write-only. In the CPU (32 bit) Registers, the 32 bit is the leftmost part of the register and the 16 bit is the rightmost part. The 16 bit register is divided into two parts, the higher 8 bit and the lower 8 bit.
