Question

ORG 500H represents the

a. Starting address of the data
b. Starting address of the program
c. Assembler directives which tell where the program will start to be filled in
d. Assembly instruction where it will say that it will start from 500H

Answer 1

ORG 500H is an assembler directive that represents the starting address of the program.

Step-by-step explanation:

ORG 500H is an assembler directive that represents the starting address of the program. Assembler directives are instructions used by the assembler to control the assembly process and provide information about the program to be assembled. The directive ORG specifies the origin or starting address.

The AREA directive instructs the assembler to assemble a new code or data area. Areas are independent, named, indivisible chunks of code or data that are manipulated by the linker.

Assembler directives are the commands to the assembler that direct the assembly process. They indicate how an operand is treated by the assembler and how the assembler handles the program. They also direct the assembler on how the program and data should be arranged in the memory.

Assembler instruction generates machine code, thus contributing to the size of the program. Assembler directive does not create any machine code, and thus does not contribute to program size. It directs the assembler to perform certain actions during the assembly phase.
