MASM:

MASM The Microsoft Macro Assembler (abbreviated MASM ) is an assembler for the x86 family of microprocessors. It was originally produced by Microsoft for development work on their MS-DOS operating system, and was for some time the most popular assembler available for that operating system. It supported a wide variety of macro facilities and structured programming idioms, including high-level).

WORKING:

WORKING The programmer can write a program using a sequence of these assembler instructions. This sequence of assembler instructions, known as the source code or source program, is then specified to the assembler program when that program is started. It translates a program written in assembly language into machine language. The output of the assembler program is called the object code or object program relative to the input source program. The sequence of 0's and 1's that constitute the object program is sometimes called machine code.
