Assembly Language Programming - CS401 Power Point Slides Lecture 02

This document discusses assembly language programming and basic computer organization. It describes different types of registers including the accumulator, pointer/index/base, general purpose, and flag/program status word registers. It explains that registers are used for mathematical and logical operations, storing addresses, temporary data storage, and collecting boolean status information. The document also outlines common instruction groups for data movement, arithmetic/logic, program control, and special operations. It provides examples of mov, lda, and, add, cmp, jne, cli, and sti instructions.
