Compound Arguments

Compound arguments may be built up from simple ones, using the standard +, -, *, and / operators, which carry the usual precedence. Also, the unary operators > and <, which bind more tightly than anything else, provide the high and low bytes of 16-bit values, respectively.

You may use parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], or curly braces { } to group arithmetic expressions. Note that a fully parenthesized expression will be interpreted as an indirect addressing mode.

Examples:

• $D000 evaluates to $D000

• $D000+32 evaluates to $D020

• $D000+$20 also evaluates to $D020

• <$D000+32 evaluates to $20

• >$D000+32 evaluates to $F0

• >[$D000+32] evaluates to $D0

• >[$D000-275] evaluates to $CE
