SUMMARY

The TYPE operator in MASM returns a number that represents the type of an identifier or expression. With the inline assembly capability in the compiler, the TYPE operator does not have the full functionality that it does in MASM. In an _asm block, the TYPE operator will only accept an identifier because expressions are not allowed.
