Common Assembly Language

Common Assembly Language (commonly Assembly or COMAS) is the common low-level programming language of computers in Vekllei and around the world. It was established by Bell Electric in 1977 and was developed from prior experimentation with machine code translation as early as the 1940s. It translates low-level instructions addressed to the processor of an optical-electric computer into an alphabet mnemonic system more easily understood by humans.

Each command is represented by a unique sequence of balanced ternary digits called a trit. The commands cover basic operation of a computer, including arithmetic, data allocation, control flow and logical operations. These trits represent one of three states, which in optical computing can be executed in parallel:

• +: positive, otherwise represented as +1
• o: zero, otherwise represented as 0
• -: negative, otherwise represented as -1

The following table lists the common commands of mnemonic Assembly and its equivalent machine-code representation as trits.
