Additional Operators

Both expression evaluators support the following additional operators:

The “context” operator ({ }) to specify the context of a symbol.

The colon operator (:) to form addresses. The colon operator has the same precedence as the multiplication, division, and remainder operators.

The memory operators (BY, WO, and DW) to access memory. Each of the memory operators has the same precedence, which is the lowest of any operator recognized by the expression evaluators.

The colon and memory operators are used mostly to debug assembly-language code. For information about the colon operator, see “Addresses”. The memory operators are described in “Memory Operators”. For more information about using the context operator, see “The Context Operator”.
