PseudoAssembler
Commands and other language elements

PseudoAssembler had been developed for training purposes. This very simple programming language allows beginners to painlessly acquire fundamental ideas of algorithmic programming.

Group Command Explanation
Arithmetic operators a = b assign value of variable b to variable a
a = b + c assign sum of variables b and c to variable a
a = b - c assign difference of variables b and c to variable a
a = b * c assign product of variables b and c to variable a
a = b / c assign b divided by c to a
a = b ^ c assign b in power c to a
Check conditions or
Conditional jumps or
Logic operators
a > b, lab go to label lab if a is greater then b
a < b, lab go to label lab if a is less then b
a >= b, lab go to label lab if a is greater or equal to b
a <= b, lab go to label lab if a is less or equal to b
a == b, lab go to label lab if a is equal to b
a != b, lab go to label lab if a is not equal b
Unconditional move of point of execution or jump operator jmp lab go to label lab
Memory addressing operators a = addrof b assign address of variable b to a
operation a,i operation with data from memory location with address from variable a (indirectly)
Input / Output operators inchar a get a character from input device and put it into a
innum a get a number from input device and put it into a
outchar a put the character from a to output device
outnum a put the number from variable a to output device
end stop program execution
Memory reservation operator def count a reserve count bytes (8 bits each) for variable a
Non operational lexicon Lab: Declares label Lab as label in code, that can be used for jumps
/*...*/ Comments: everything in between is ignored by processor

Note: place holders, which could be substituted, are shown in italic.
