 Structured Assembly Language
Programming

 What is structured assembly language

programming ?
 It is a programming methodology that

aids in the development of complicated

software with a minimum amount of
error.

Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633

 Flow Chart

 Flow chart is a flow design structured programme

to solve the problems.
 Flow chart also helps to correct and modify
developed software.
 There are symbols to use in designing flow chart
to ease programmer. These symbols consists of
following process:
 Process, predefined process, input/output, decision,
connector and terminal.
 Table shows examples of symbols to use in flow
chart programme.

 Process Symbol:
 Shows any type of process in a programme.

 Predefined process:
 Usually contains the name of the subroutine or module.

 Input / output symbol:

 Whenever data are input to the programme or output

from the programme.

 The input / output symbol usually shows the type of

data and the directioin of data flow.

 Decision symbol:
 Computer systems’s most capability is ability to make

decisions.
 The symbol asks question to determine the direction of

programme sequence.

 Connector:
 Eliminates crisscrossed connecting lines in

complicated flowcharts.
 Ease in understanding the developed

programme.
 Terminal Symbol:
 Programmes all start somewhere and require

a symbol to show where they start.

 Flow chart example: mean calculation of a set of numbers

 If-Then-Else
 The solution.

Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633

 Repeat-Until
 Allows process to be executed or repeated until an event
occurs.
 Whenever this construct appears, the process first executes a
task and then a test checks for a true or a false condition.
 The following figures shows the repeat-until-true and repeat-
until-false.

Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633

 Repeat-Until: Example
 Reads the keyboard until a CR (carriage return) is
detected.

Dr. Masri Ayob: TK2633

 Do-While
 Is comparable to the repeat-until except for one basic
difference.
 The do-while construct checks the condition and then, if
required, performs the process and repeats the check.
 There are two forms: do-while-false and do-while-true.
