Assembly Language on PIC 16F872

[scdoro]

instruction set for 16f872

Hi, would like to know if i can use code like below in my assembly language.

circle if count == 1
btfss portb,5 ;check is led5 is lighted?
goto circle
else
goto circle
endif

can i use syntax like count == 1 ?? is setting a flag this way is workable in assembly ?

thanks

You cannot use that, read your datasheet so that you will know the instruction set supported.

Read your assembler manual for assembler directives.

Hi, scodoro
In assembly you cannot use if, else, ==, endif as code instructions.
These keywords are assembler directives, i.e. they are used for conditional assembly
(like preprocessor in C language), or in macro definitions. In other words they don't generate
machine code but they control this generation. Please take a look at MPLAB assembler help.
And the instruction set of your PICmicro is listed in its datasheet.
