Multiple Initializations The TIMES directive allows multiple initializations to the same value. For example, an array named marks of size 9 can be defined and initialized to zero using the following statement: marks TIMES 9 DW 0 The TIMES directive is useful in defining arrays and tables. The following program displays 9 asterisks on the screen: section .text global main ;must be declared for linker (ld) main: ;tell linker entry point mov edx,9 ;message length mov ecx, stars ;message to write mov ebx,1 ;file descriptor (stdout) mov eax,4 ;system call number (sys_write) int 0x80 ;call kernel mov eax,1 ;system call number (sys_exit) int 0x80 ;call kernel section .data stars times 9 db '*' When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces following result: ********* TUTORIALS POINT Simply Easy Learning
CHAPTER 9 Assembly Constants There are several directives provided by NASM that define constants. We have already used the EQU directive in previous chapters. We will particularly discuss three directives: EQU %assign %define The EQU Directive The EQU directive is used for defining constants. The syntax of the EQU directive is as follows: CONSTANT_NAME EQU expression For example, TOTAL_STUDENTS equ 50 You can then use this constant value in your code, like: mov ecx, TOTAL_STUDENTS cmp eax, TOTAL_STUDENTS The operand of an EQU statement can be an expression: LENGTH equ 20 WIDTH equ 10 AREA equ length * width Above code segment would define AREA as 200. Example: The following example illustrates the use of the EQU directive: SYS_EXIT equ 1 SYS_WRITE equ 4 TUTORIALS POINT Simply Easy Learning
