TITLE: Write 64-bit ALP to “Hello World” in NASM.

THEORY:
• DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUCTIONS USED IN THIS CODE –
1. section: This directive is used to define sections of the executable
file. In this code, the data section (.data) is used to define the
string to be printed, and the text section (.text) is used for the
main program.

2. db: This directive is used to define bytes in the data section. It is

used to declare a string that will be printed.

3. mov: This instruction moves data between registers and

memory. It is used to move values into registers, which can then
be used for various operations.

4. int: This instruction generates a software interrupt. In this case,

it is used to make a system call to the kernel. The value in the
register eax determines the specific system call to be made.

5. global: This directive is used to make labels visible to the linker

so that they can be referenced from other files.
