labels in ASM
 

Hi. I want to be able to do simple assembly programming. I have studied some asm and higher level languages in the past but I can't find a definition of a (label) with context.

It just looks to me like a identifier to throw on a line that gives a temporary reference point for the compiler. Why not just use 'line one of code' for the first statement and then use 'line 2 of code' for the second?

What's the naming convention for using labels in any case?

Thank you for your expertise!

If you refered to line numbers in code you'd have to update all your markers every time you added or remove a preceding line. A label is a simple way to refer to a place in code that you wish to jump to, whether for a loop or a path selection. They exist in many high level languages as well.
