Assembly_Lecture_07_2023

The document provides an overview of assembly language addressing modes, specifically SHORT, NEAR, and FAR addresses, along with their respective limitations. It details various conditional jump instructions based on both signed and unsigned data, as well as special arithmetic tests. Additionally, the document explains the CALL and RET instructions for procedure control and the methods for passing parameters by value and by reference.

SHORT, NEAR and FAR addresses

➢ Short Address: limited to a distance of -128


(80H) to 127 (7FH) ( 1 byte long, same
segment).

➢ NEAR Address: limited to a distance of -


32768 (8000H) to 32767 (7FFFH) (2 bytes
long, same segment)

➢ FAR address: (4 bytes long, another


segment)

Backward & Forward JMP

Backward JUMP Forward JUMP


LOOP

➢ LOOPE/LOOPZ (loop while equal/zero)


continue looping as long as CX is not zero
and the zero condition is set. Implicitly
decrement CX by 1.

➢ LOOPNE/LOOPNZ (loop while not equal/ not


zero) continue looping as long as CX is not
zero and the zero condition is not set.
CMP

[label: ] CMP R/M, R/M/I

➢ Only compare numeric data. CMPS for


string comparing.
➢ The result affects AF, CF,OF, PF,SF, ZF
