Can someone explain me the difference between mov eax, msg and mov eax, [msg] ? Thanks a lot!

Question

I'm not sure, but I think that :
mov eax, [msg]
moves the address of msg in eax register... If someone can explain me...

with : dd msg 'Hello world!'

Answer 1

Yes mov is an statement which is used to transfer information one address information(data) to the other stated location
MOV eax,[msg]
Will move the content of msg to eax which is hello world
or you can do
MVI A,msg
MOV eax,A

I know how assembly language is difficult but I want to know how does a computer work.
Once again : thanks guys ! 😉
