Assembly language and machine code - Gary explains!

WOW shout out to Crash Royale

I've been learning Java and some other languages for the past year but never got into assembly or machine language. Very clear video, I liked it a lot!

Machine code was the first "language" I learned and used back in the mid-1970s. The Signetics 2650 in the 70s on a tiny single board computer, hand assembled and soldered, etc. The 2650 was an 8bit cpu with some quite complex addressing modes and it used variable length instructions.

Then, in the 80s and 90s... the 6502 (6510) on the C64, I developed some games in machine code, and later, the 68000 on the Amiga. I didn't have an assembler for any of them.

Great video! Explains syntetically the difference beteeen machine code, assembly, compiled languages and even Java! Great

Interesting, but what is a “stack”? (There may be other terms that you didn’t define.)

lmfao this was not only funny and interesting, it was informative 👏

Explaining assembly without explaining computer architecture first is futile.

so assembly language is middle man between machine code and higher level language like javascript, right? if so why?

this is great

I'm into assembly

super video - thank you.

Great explanation Gary! I'm taking my 1st Assembly Language class this week and I learn by understanding concepts visually and you are excellent at it! I remember being in electronics in Highschool, having a Vic 20 and Commodore 64, wanting a Sinclair and working to build a robot vis wire wrapping. I joined the USAF and was n communications for 8 years, then on to web design and networking in the civilian world. Programing this Assembly looks like learning Greek to me but you have helped! I hope I can learn more from you as the class progresses!

I don’t know to write assembly language 😢

the cpu is like the human brain, but why neuman way? human is not a 100% perfect creation

I don't understand but i have get something

Is the assembler the same as a compiler ?
Also, how exactly does it "translate" the assembly language into binary ?
Thanks

I found your video, because I'm trying to make a decompiler to go from machine to Arm Assembly - not a full-scale project of course, just something to work with a very limited instruction set to play with.

Thank youu!! This video was so useful.

I think cool!

Nice One!

Hey I love the video, but the background music/noise was a bit distracting. I’d rather just hear your voice. Just a suggestion.

I learn 8086 Assembly now only for 2 days. And now i can see all these possibilities in programming.
Before assembly i programmed in C/C++ but after I discovered OS-Development I turned crazy...
I sat 48 hours in my desktop chair and made my first little bootloader with a minimalistic GUI.
in the beginning I thought I'll never understand assembly. But when you do its not so hard anymore.
Except the annoying researches to remember the 8086 BIOS interrupts... and the time you spend to convert ASCII or DECIMAL to hexadecimal...
Anyway. Assembly is the fastest and best language to use the complete computer power!

Fantastic

I HAVE STUDIED QUANTUM CURVATURE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

falando merda afu carecaaaaa

Assembly language is extremely underrated I’ve written a lot of it and I can say it was a lot more fun to learn assembly than any other language I’ve used

Thank you very much! Very helpful

Still somehow the best explanation of these concepts even after 6 years.

It’s cool to know that modern hardware works with twos complement since it is hardware friendly.

Im not a nerd.
However, I want to learn assembly.
Any advice?

Simple explanation .

never forget that a gay man is basically the father of modern computers if you hate gay people you might as well hate computers too

Great, now we know how to add variables i and j with Assembly. Very helpful. But how to make a whole game with graphics? I can't believe people back in the day bothered learning Assembly.

I wonder how Mario game was made in 1980s

Yup.....and I have recently done a course on "Computer Organization" and I loved machine and assembly level programming.

I almost always code in high level languages. I sometimes use lower level to optimize more but it’s a butch to code in. I wonder if anyone can code directly in machine code.

Complete and thorough. Keep it up👍🏻👍🏻

hello gary my name is bulent i am from turkey i want to ask you something. Do you think I should learn assembly to be a good hacker? where should i start i will be glad if you can help me thank you

I am commenting to get the video to 420 likes

Thank you. I found this video to be enlightening. Moreso, I would love to learn more about building a computer random access memory. It would be amazing to find some helpful resources.

Finally after 7 years later i got my answer...

I programmed with assembly language in college on on Vax back in 1986. 4 years later I took Data Structures which was heavy Borland Pascal programming. I hated assembly language too. lol

hello friend, can you finish a game in bin for me? mortal kombat 1 genesis,? missing fix Shang tsung

Turing did not break the enigma code, stop misleading people
