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:

    “Liberty requires opportunity to make a living—a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives a man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “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)

    “Men sometimes speak as if the study of the classics would at length make way for more modern and practical studies; but the adventurous student will always study classics, in whatever language they may be written and however ancient they may be. For what are the classics but the noblest recorded thoughts of man?... We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
