| 3 | +### Register |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +In this programming language you can use four registers. |
| 6 | +* eax |
| 7 | +* ebx |
| 8 | +* ecx |
| 9 | +* edx |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The register **eax** will be standard use for multiplication and division. |
| 12 | +Commands for arithmetic are: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +* add p0, p1 |
| 15 | +* sub p0, p1 |
| 16 | +* mul [register] |
| 17 | +* div [register] |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +p0 and p1 stands for parameter. p0 must be a register, p1 can be a register or constant. |
| 20 | +The commands **mul** and **div** standard use eax. For instance: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | +mov ecx, 56 |
| 24 | +sub ecx, 10 |
| 25 | +mov eax, 4 |
| 26 | +int 0x80 |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +* The first line move the number 56 into register ecx. |
| 31 | +* The second line subtract 10 from the ecx register. |
| 32 | +* The third line move the number 4 into the eax register. This is for the print-function. |
| 33 | +* The fourt line call interrupt 0x80, thus the result will print onto console. |
| 34 | +* The fifth line is a new line. This is important. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +**Important: close each line with a newline!** |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### System-Functions |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +With the interrupt 0x80 you can use some functionality in your program. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +EAX | Function |
| 43 | +---- | --------- |
| 44 | +1 | exit program. error code in ebx |
| 45 | +3 | read input. onto ecx (only float) |
| 46 | +4 | output onto console. print content in ecx |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +EAX stands for the register eax |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +### Variables |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Variables begin with a $ or written in uppercase. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +For instance: |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +; variables |
| 59 | +VAR1 db 56 |
| 60 | +$var1 db 10 |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +mov ecx, VAR1 |
| 63 | +mov ebx, $var1 |
| 64 | +sub ecx, ebx |
| 65 | +mov eax, 4 |
| 66 | +int 0x80 |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +``` |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +**Important: The arithmetic commands (add, sub) works only with registers or constans. |
| 71 | +Therefore we must use the register ebx as a placeholder, above.** |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Result of code, above. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +``` |
| 77 | +46 |
| 78 | +``` |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +### Comments |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Comments begin with ; and ends with a newline. |
| 83 | +We noticed a comment, above. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### Push and Pop |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +Sometimes we must save the content of a register, against losing of data. |
| 88 | +Therefor we use the push and pop command. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +``` |
| 91 | +push eax |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +``` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +This line will push the content of register eax onto the stack. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | +pop ecx |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +``` |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +This line will pop the content of the top of the stack onto the ecx register. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +``` |
| 105 | +push [register] |
| 106 | +pop [register] |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +``` |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Jumps |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +With the command **cmp** we can compare two register. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | +cmp r0, r1 |
| 116 | +je l1 |
| 117 | +jmp l2 |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +``` |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +Are the two register equal? The the command **je** is actively and jumps to label **l1** |
| 122 | +Otherwise the command **jmp** is actively and jumps to label **l2** |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +#### Labels |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +For instance |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +``` |
| 129 | +l1: |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +``` |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +is a label. |
| 134 | +Labels begin with a **l** and contains numbers. |
| 135 | +For instance l1, l2 etc ... |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +To set a label you must end with a colon. |
| 138 | +If you use a label in the jump commands, then avoid the colon at the end. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### Subprograms |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +``` |
| 143 | +mov ecx, 5 |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +call _double |
| 146 | +call _cube |
| 147 | +call _inc |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +mov eax, 4 |
| 150 | +int 0x80 |
| 151 | +mov eax, 1 |
| 152 | +mov ebx, 0 |
| 153 | +int 0x80 |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +_double: |
| 158 | +add ecx, ecx |
| 159 | +ret |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +_cube: |
| 162 | +push eax |
| 163 | +mov eax, ecx |
| 164 | +add ecx, eax |
| 165 | +add ecx, eax |
| 166 | +pop eax |
| 167 | +ret |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +_inc: |
| 170 | +add ecx, 1 |
| 171 | +ret |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +``` |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +A subprogram label begins with a **_** and ends with a colon. See above. |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +If you call the subprogram you must avoid the colon. |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +``` call _subprogramName |
| 181 | +``` |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +**Important:** Each subprogram must end with the **ret** command. |
