[w00t]

AT&T syntax and Intel syntax represent the same thing, the difference being whether the operator or the operand should be provided first.


Intel syntax, operand first:

Code:

mov ax, 5 ; AX = 0x0005

AT&T syntax ,of the exact same operation , operator first, explicitly state how much memory is being transferred:

Code:

movw 5, %ax ; load up AX with 5, explicitly stating that 5 is a word and so is AX
