Abstract
For those of us who are essentially high level programmers, the intricacies and lack of structure in assembly language programs are often an insurmountable barrier to effective assembly language programming. This paper attempts to show a way to overcome this barrier. Structured pseudocode is used to solve the problem just as if the solution were to be coded in PL/I, PASCAL, ADA, or some other structured high level language. Then the structured pseudocode is “compiled” into assembly language using appropriate labels to show the structure of the assembly language program.

Structured programming in assembly language
Structured design and programming techniques can be extended from high-level languages to assembly language. Over the past three years at Brown University, beginning assembly language programmers have been successfully taught these techniques using ...
A structured approach to assembly language programming
A method is described for teaching structured programming techniques to students of assembly language programming. Structured programming, historically, has only been within the realm of high-level languages (Pascal, C, etc.), while a more loose ...
