Question

Which of the following is/are NOT the functions of assembly language directions?

1. Define system parameters.

2. Assign specific symbolic memory locations.

3. Control the output of the assembly process.

1. 1 and 2 only
2. 2 and 3 only
3. 1 and 3 only
4. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1 and 2 only

Assembly language directives:

Directives are instructions used by the assembler to help automate the assembly process and to improve program readability.

Assembly language directions define the machine code (by some bits). 

It implements a symbolic representation of the machine codes and other constants needed to program a given CPU architecture. 

It does not implement specific symbolic memory location. 

∴ Only 3 is the function of assembly language directions.
