ee: Basic
Assembly Language
Chapter One:
Constants, Variables, and Data Types
How to declare objects in HLA.
Chapter Two:
Character Strings
A discussion of HLA’s character string representation
and an introduction to string routines in the HLA Stan-
dard Library.
Chapter Three: Characters and Character Sets
A discussion of characters and the operations on them
plus character sets and HLA’s representation of charac-
ter sets.
Chapter Four:
Arrays
How to declare and access elements of arrays.
Chapter Five:
Records, Unions, and Namespaces
How to declare records (structures) and how to access
the fields within those records.
Chapter Six: Dates and Times
Dates and Times are two important data types whose
importance was underscored by the Y2K problem. This
chapter discusses how to properly implement these data
types.
Chapter Seven: File I/O
Maintaining persistent information (across executions)
within your programs.
Chapter Eight: Introduction to Procedures
The ability to create your own procedures is of great
importance in any program. This chapter discusses
HLA’s high level procedure declaration syntax and how
to call procedures you’ve written.
Chapter Nine:
Managing Large Programs
This chapter discusses how to break up a program into
modules and separately compile them.
