Book Description
This concise guide is designed to enable the reader to learn how to program in assembly language as quickly as possible. Through a hands-on programming approach,readers will also learn about the architecture of the Intel processor,and the relationship between high-level and low-level languages.
This updated second edition has been expanded with additional exercises,and enhanced with new material on floating-point numbers and 64-bit processing.
Topics and features: provides guidance on simplified register usage,simplified input/output using C-like statements,and the use of high-level control structures; describes the implementation of control structures,without the use of high-level structures,and often with related C program code; illustrates concepts with one or more complete program; presents review summaries in each chapter,together with a variety of exercises,from short-answer questions to programming assignments; covers selection and iteration structures,logic,shift,arithmetic shift,rotate,and stack instructions,procedures and macros,arrays,and strings; includes an introduction to floating-point instructions and 64-bit processing; examines machine language from a discovery perspective,introducing the principles of computer organization.
A must-have resource for undergraduate students seeking to learn the fundamentals necessary to begin writing logically correct programs in a minimal amount of time,this work will serve as an ideal textbook for an assembly language course,or as a supplementary text for courses on computer organization and architecture. The presentation assumes prior knowledge of the basics of programming in a high-level language such as C,C++,or Java.
