SQL is a very simple language, but php source can get a little confusing wten you need to isolate echos etc.

lol he is talking about ASM, as in !@#$%^&*embly, as in the lowest level of programming before you are doing hand !@#$%^&*embly.

is that where you write a basic outline of the program?

 

eg fior a card reader that opns a door where 3+ clerence and no lock is on is needed to enter:...

 

 

DO WHILE card in reader

IF clearence=3+

IF not locked

Else

IF door locked

THEN

Do not open door

End IF

THEN

Open door

Else

Do not open door

End IF

End Do

!@#$%^&*embly is the lowest level of programming language, every programming high level language converts its code to !@#$%^&*embly, then that code it's "!@#$%^&*embled" into machine code.

 

!@#$%^&*embly uses machine registers. (eax, ebx, ecx, edx, esi, edi...)

 

Ex of !@#$%^&*embly code:

 

Add two numbers

 

.data

num1 dd 0

num2 dd 0

 

.code

start:

mov num1, 5

mov num2, 5

mov eax, num1

add num2, eax

end start

 

Result is 10, it's in num2.

Its very funny to make an infinite loop that write a letter into a ascii file in ASM $ $ $ $

 

You know that happend when you drive is full in just a min <_<
