Thus far, we saw how both code and data may be addressed, which is mostly the essence of programming in the Assembly language. As you will witness while reading this book and trying the code yourself, at least 90% of writing a program in Assembly is writing how you want some data to be moved, where from and where to (the remaining 10% are actual operations on data).
