1.3.5 | Expressions

In the broader scope of the assembler documentation, a "Number" is defined as a (Section 1.3.6), which serves as a fundamental building block for Expressions . Expressions themselves are combinations of these terms joined by binary operators. AS6811 Documentaion

: By default, all numbers are interpreted as decimal unless a different radix is specified via the .radix directive. Radix Support : The assembler supports four primary formats: Hexadecimal Expressions 1.3.5

Section 1.3.5 details how numerical values are processed within the ASxxxx assembler's source programs. It establishes the rules for radix interpretation, prefixing, and numerical representation. In the broader scope of the assembler documentation,

According to the AS6811 Documentation , the assembler applies the following logic to numerical expressions: Radix Support : The assembler supports four primary

must be preceded by a minus sign ( - ). The assembler automatically translates these into two’s complement form.

may include a plus sign ( + ), though it is not required.

: Numbers are strictly considered absolute values . Consequently, they are never treated as relocatable entities in the code. Context Within "Expressions"
