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:

    “An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “Our assembly being now formed not by ourselves but by the goodwill and sprightly imagination of our readers, we have nothing to do but to draw up the curtain ... and to discover our chief personage on the stage.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
