.ASCIZ - String declaration

 

A character array is created by translating the ASCII string in the instruction:

This instruction is identical to .ascii except for the char #0 added at the end of the string. (a single byte containing zero)

 

 

backslash ('\') followed by a character or combination of characters, translate the sequence to special chars:

 

\n         new-line                       \t  tab

\b         backspace                    \r  carriage return

\\          backslash                     ""  reverse commas

\ddd     byte value in octal notation
