For-loops: For-loop in C: The same loop in 8086 assembler: That is the loop if you need to access your index (cx). If you just wanna to something 0-3=4 times but you do not need the index, this would be easier: If you just want to perform a very simple instruction a constant amount of … Read more
As others have pointed out, LEA (load effective address) is often used as a “trick” to do certain computations, but that’s not its primary purpose. The x86 instruction set was designed to support high-level languages like Pascal and C, where arrays—especially arrays of ints or small structs—are common. Consider, for example, a struct representing (x, … Read more
