The Special Dot Symbol
The special symbol “.” refers to the current address that as is assembling into. Thus, the expression, melvin: .long, defines melvin to contain its own address.
Assigning a value to “
.” is treated the same as a .org directive. Thus, the expression of ‘.=.+4’ is the same as saying ‘.space 4’.
