[[Category:Computer Architecture]][[Category:Assembly Language]]
''Assembly language'' is a [[Symbol|symbolic]] representation of [[Machine Language|machine language]]. It is therefore [[Portable|architecture-specific]].
Each instruction is represented by a short mnemonic word such as "LDR" for ''Load Register'', "MOV" for ''move'', or "MUL" for ''multiply'', followed by (optional) arguments. The [[Addressing Mode|addressing mode]] is implied by the format of the arguments. Different [[Assembler|assemblers]] use slightly different syntax.
== Examples ==
.ascii "Hello, World!\n"
len = . - msg
Notice that the order of the arguments in some lines is reversed between the two assemblers, and the prefixes to symbols and values also change.
=== ARM (32-bit) ===
len = . - msg
