Assembly

C and Assembly can be used together to provide extra flexibility. You can create static libraries in Assembly that you call from C, and vice-versa, you can call C functions from within Assembly. Check out the code samples below that demonstrate that process.

NASM, or The Netwide Assembler, is an x86 compiler that allows us to turn Assembly code in to machine code object files. Once we have an object file, we can link it and create the final executable. This example is meant for Unix systems or Windows with MinGW toolchain installed. On Debian systems, it can be installed with the nasm package. Put the code below in to hello.asm
