Re: A86: String input again




> What is hl?

HL is a register.  Actually, it would be a double register, made up of
register 'H' and register 'L'.  A register is a small, extremely fast
chunk of memory inside the actual processor chip.  Each register is one
byte;  a double register is two bytes.

The registers are used for storing temporary values, and addresses of
memory locations.  All data manipulation uses the registers.  You can
get information about the registers from the many tutorials spread
across cyberland.  You have to understand them before you can learn much
else about assembly, because everything is based upon them.
