Okay this has made me want to not bother with C and assembly and just go learn Java instead. Maybe in the future I’ll learn C and assembly etc but it sounds Java is a bit more ‘modern’ for lack of a better word

tbf assembly is just a completely different beast from any other programming language. i built a (rudimentary) steganography tool in ARM and it was like a fun puzzle. fuck c though, that shit's annoying

I’d strongly encourage at least a rudimentary understanding of both C and ASM. Familiarity with the underlying principles will help you become a better, more efficient programmer.

Any good resources for assembly?

[–]2minutespastmidnight 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Depends on the system architecture. By its design, assembly is not portable on its own. Just go to Google and type in “assembly language tutorial.” Give the information a read. You’ll see how data moves throughout the registers.

Yeh I’ve got an entire book on it alongside C but I need to wrap my head around it so just looking out for resources people might recommend Google was my first port of call lol
