8086/88 Instruction Set and Assembler Directives

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about 8086/88 Instruction Set and Assembler Directives, assembler which supports directives to define data, to organize segments to control procedure, to define macros. It consists of two types of statements: instructions and directives. The instructions are translated to the machine code by the assembler whereas directives are not translated to the machine codes. Data Transfer Instructions are the instructions that are used to transfer the data from the source operand to the destination operand.
