NAR 2 - Standard Assembly Language Syntax

Standard Assembly Language Syntax

NAR 2 assembly language syntax was straightforward and easy to parse. Each program line could contain up to one instruction specified as follows:

  1. Instruction mnemonic
  2. Whitespace, if instruction specifies any index registers, addressing mode or a parameter and then comma-separated:
    1. Name of index register, if used
    2. Names of addressing mode flags (also comma separated)
    3. Parameter value

Sample code:

aum X1, p, 0 mua n, 1 aum 15 pir X1, p, n, 1 mua X1, p, n, 0 oduf n, 1 oduf X2, p, n, 0

Famous quotes containing the words standard, assembly and/or language:

    “As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
    —Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)

    “There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
