A symbol may be set in one of two three ways:# Using a directive (in the example above, len line)# Using an assignment (in the example above, orstdout line)
# As a label (such as _start or msg in the example above). A label set in this way is identified by the trailing colon, and is set to the current memory location in the instruction or data sequence. Labels may be used for loading/storing information, or as the target of branches/jumps.
