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.

Use brackets [ ] instead of parentheses ( ) when grouping arithmetic operations, as the parentheses are needed for the indirect addressing modes.

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
