SAS
SAS /sæs/ or Simple Assembly is an assembly language invented by User:None1 to be easy to implement and compile to another language, it is possible to write a C compiler to it.
Memory
There are infinite dialects of SAS: SAS-1, SAS-2, ... The number is the architecture number: the number of bits in a machine word. The most commonly-used ones are SAS-8, SAS-16, SAS-24 and SAS-32.
The memory in SAS-x consists of 2x machine words, each machine word is x bits. Each machine word is addressed 0 to 2x-1. At start of the program, the addresses 0 to x-1 store 2i, where i is the address, the addresses 2x-1 to 2x-x store 2x-22x-i-1, where i is the address, while other addresses are zero.
Machine words wrap ((2x-1)+1=0).
Basic Commands
ADD x y
Add address y to address x.
JMP x y
If address x is nonzero, jump to line y (line numbers start from 0).
REF x y
Let x be the value addressed the value of address y.
Commands are case insensitive.
That's it.
I/O Extensions (optional)
OUT x
Print address x modulo 256 as ASCII.
INP x
Input address x as ASCII.
Example Programs
Hello, World!
The following works in SAS-8.
ADD 8 3 ADD 8 6 OUT 8 ADD 9 0 ADD 9 2 ADD 9 5 ADD 9 6 OUT 9 ADD 10 2 ADD 10 3 ADD 10 5 ADD 10 6 OUT 10 ADD 11 2 ADD 11 3 ADD 11 5 ADD 11 6 OUT 11 ADD 12 0 ADD 12 1 ADD 12 2 ADD 12 3 ADD 12 5 ADD 12 6 OUT 12 ADD 13 2 ADD 13 3 ADD 13 5 OUT 13 ADD 14 5 OUT 14 ADD 15 0 ADD 15 1 ADD 15 2 ADD 15 4 ADD 15 6 OUT 15 ADD 16 0 ADD 16 1 ADD 16 2 ADD 16 3 ADD 16 5 ADD 16 6 OUT 16 ADD 17 1 ADD 17 4 ADD 17 5 ADD 17 6 OUT 17 ADD 18 2 ADD 18 3 ADD 18 5 ADD 18 6 OUT 18 ADD 19 2 ADD 19 5 ADD 19 6 OUT 19 ADD 20 0 ADD 20 5 OUT 20
Cat program
INP 0 OUT 0 JMP 0 0
Truth Machine
INP 8 ADD 9 8 ADD 8 251 ADD 8 250 OUT 9 JMP 8 4
Computational class
When the architecture number is near infinity, the esolang is Turing complete, but the architecture number cannot be infinity. Also the esolang is not Turing complete when architecture number is infinity.
Implementations
- Original Python 3 implementation, interprets SAS-8 by default, but you can change architecture number by changing the
arvariable.
