global _start

section .text

_start:
    ; MOV examples
    mov    rax,rbx
    mov    rcx,0x1122334455667788
    mov    dl,0x11
    mov    rax,[r8]

2. Next, type the following and examine your work:

    ; LEA and XCHG examples
    lea    rax,[rcx+8]
    xchg   rdi,rsi

    ; PUSH and POP examples
    push   rdi
    pop    r12

    ; XOR, AND, OR examples
    xor    rax,rax
    and    rbl,al
    or     bx,bx
    or     cx,0xfff

3. Type the following, paying close attention to the syntax:

; ADD examples
    add    ebx,eax
    add    bx,ax
    add    rax,rbx
    add    cl,0x2

    ; SUB examples
    sub    edx,ecx
    sub    dx,cx
    sub    rdx,rcx
    sub    cl,0x2

    ; MUL examples
    mul    rdi
    mul    bx
    mul    cl
    mul    0x1122334455667788

    ; DIV examples
    div    bx
    div    ecx
    div    cl

4. Type the following on a new line in the text editor:

    ; INC examples
    inc    eax
    inc    rdx
    inc    al
    inc    [ax]

    ; DEC examples
    dec    ebx
    dec    rbx
    dec    bl
    dec    [bx]

5. Starting on a new line, type the following:

    ;jump example
    jmp    caller

; label/procedure examples
engager:
    pop    rcx
    mov    rax,[rip+8]

caller:
   call engager
secret: db "This is a secret message!" ; this is NASM specific

6. Next, type the following:

; loop example
loopstarter:
    mov    rcx,0x9
    xor    rax,rax
looper:
    inc    rax
    loop   looper

7. When you're finished, feel free to close the text editor. It's not necessary to save this file since this recipe just demonstrates how to use some of the required instructions.
