basic ASM question

[stonedzealot]

when you have a label, how many bytes does this take?

e.g.

Code: Select all

mylabel:
      dw 0

to access that word later, I'd have to say [mylabel + x]
where x is the length of mylabel.

Labels don't occupy any space.

[stonedzealot]

ah, so they're like pronouns, the linker just replaces them....anyway so [mylabel] would automatically refer to that word then?

[Tim]

Yes.
