Hello HN,
Please tell me how many different varieties of assembly language exists like x86 etc,,their differences(how do they differ from one another)
which varient should i choose?
Please give me some insight on the tools that are needed for programming in assembly.some say i need to buy a intel 8085/8086 kit.but others say a simulator would do.i'am damn confused.
also suggest good simulators if that's the case
x86 isn't an assembly language it is an instruction set. That is to say it provides an instruction that allows you to add the value at a memory location and a constant. Intel's assembly language exposes this instruction one way vs GNU's assmebly language that exposes this a different way. So you have instruction sets then you have for lack of a better word instruction patterns. So you can use GNU Assembler (GAS) with x86, power, and arm instructions is each a different language?<p>If you want to learn x86 assembly and have an x86 computer then all you need is an assembler. Have a power Mac then you have every thing you need to run power assembly. There is a free online book called the Art of Assembly.
