mov BYTE [ds:bx], 2 ; Move 2 into the single byte at the address stored in EBX.
mov WORD [ds:bx], 2
; Move the 16-bit integer representation of 2 into the 2 bytes
starting at the address in EBX.
mov DWORD [ds:bx], 2
; Move the 32-bit integer representation of 2 into the 4 bytes
starting at the address in EBX.
Data Movement Instructions
mov <reg>,<reg>
mov <reg>,<mem>
mov <mem>,<reg>
mov <reg>,<const>
mov <mem>,<const>
MOV DX, TAX_RATE
MOV COUNT, CX
MOV EAX, EBX
Immediate Addressing
BYTE_VALUE DB 150 ; A byte value is defined WORD_VALUE
DW 300 ; A word value is defined
ADD BYTE_VALUE, 65 ; an immediate operand 65 is added
MOV AX, 45H ; immediate constant 45H is transferred to AX
Multiple Initializations
marksTIMES 9 DW 0
XOR
Operand1: 0101
Operand2: 0011
----------------------------
After XOR -> Operand1: 0110
XOR EAX, EAX
TEST
Test al, 01h
Jz even_number
CMP
CMP DX, 00 ; compare the DX value with zero
JE L7 ; if yes, then jump to label L7
CMP
LP1:
INC EDX
CMP EDX, 10 ; Compares whether the counter has reached 10
JLE LP1 ; If it is less than or equal to 10, then jump to LP1
