17. The MOV Instruction

• The two forms of the simplified MOV instruction could have the following forms:

          mov reg, reg/memory/constant    ; load register EAX
          mov memory, reg                 ; store register in memory
  

  where

  • mov is instruction mnemonic

  • reg is any of AX, BX, CX, or DX,

  • constant is a numeric constant (using hexadecimal notation),

  • memory is an operand specifying a memory location.
