Complete C Language Programming For The Ibm Pc

Presents features of Pentium architecture and key instructions. The book trains readers to understand hardware, machine-language code and hexagonal format, writing programs in assembly language, trace element execution, writing macro instructions and linking separately assembled programs into one.

Teaches useful programming techniques. This textbook presents important but difficult concepts only after a sound grasp of the fundamentals has been attained and the more advanced concepts are actually needed. Constant and exhaustive reinforcement ensures that the readers thoroughly understand the concepts presented.

Learn the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor. -- Each book includes a CD-ROM containing Microsoft's MASM Assembly Language Development System version 6.11. -- Provides an extensive link library -- Fully explains how to use the assembler, linker, and debugger. An ideal quick-reference for people who need to brush up on their PC Assembler programming skills, and a quality tutorial for those who already program in C, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language for the IBM-PC covers the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor. Based on the intel 80 x 86 processor family, it concentrates on the MS-DOS operating system, and provides literally hundreds of short examples that show how assembly language may be applied to useful problems.

This IBM PC specific programming text emphasizes problem solving and structured programming from the start. The author's goal is to prepare students to write BASIC programs at the earliest possible stage without neglecting vital preparatory skills such as algorithm development.

Combining assembly and C programming, this book uses the Debug utility to show students what action instructions perform, and then provides programs to demonstrate their application. It contains examples, problems, and review questions, which reinforce concepts throughout. It is appropriate for microprocessor courses teaching the 80x86 family.
