Assembly Language

Assembly Language is a low-level programming language that is used to write programs that directly interact with the computer's hardware.

Variant of Assembly Language

Assembly languages vary by architecture, each with unique instructions and mnemonics. Common variants include:

ARM Assembly: Used in mobile devices and embedded systems, known for its efficiency and RISC architecture.
x86 Assembly: Found in Intel and AMD PCs, offering extensive backward compatibility and a mix of CISC and RISC features.
MIPS Assembly: Employed in academic settings and specialized devices, noted for its simplicity and RISC design.
Z80 Assembly: An older language used in early home computers and embedded systems.
6502 Assembly: Popular in vintage computers like the Apple II and early gaming consoles.

In this guide, we'll focus on x86 Assembly, and we will use the MASM (Microsoft Macro Assembler) syntax and run on DOSBox.
