Assemblernotation
Assembler notation refers to the human‑readable format that assemblers use to translate assembly language code into machine code. The notation specifies the syntax for mnemonics, operands, labels, directives, and comments. It serves as the bridge between programmer intent and the binary instructions that the processor actually executes.
Two principal syntaxes dominate assembler notation: Intel and AT&T. Intel syntax places the destination operand first
Beyond mnemonics and operand conventions, assembler notation includes directives that control data placement, program segments, and
Assemblers such as MASM, NASM, TASM, and GNU Assembler (GAS) interpret these notations to generate object files.
