must be preceded by a minus sign ( - ). The assembler automatically translates these into two’s complement form.
: Numbers are strictly considered absolute values . Consequently, they are never treated as relocatable entities in the code. Context Within "Expressions"
may include a plus sign ( + ), though it is not required.
: Specific radix prefixes can be used to designate the base of individual numbers, overriding the default setting for that specific instance. Signage :
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.
This report summarizes the documentation for , a sub-component of the "Symbols and Expressions" chapter in the ASxxxx Cross Assembler Documentation . Overview of Section 1.3.5: Numbers
