<h1>xAsm Symbols</h1>
<p>xAsm supports several types of symbols:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="labels.htm">Label</a>. Used to assign a memory location with a name
<li><a href="equ.htm">EQUate</a>. Give a constant a name.
<li><a href="set.htm">SET</a>. Same as EQUate but with a subtle difference. You can change the value of a SET during assembling.
<li><a href="rs.htm">Structures (the RS group)</a>. Define a structure easily.
<li><a href="equs.htm">String equate (EQUS)</a>. Give an often used string a name. Can also be used as a mini-macro. Much like #define in C.
<li><a href="macro.htm">MACROs</a>. A block of code or pseudo instructions that you invoke like any other mnemonic. You can give them arguments too! Life is good.
</ul>
<p><strong>A symbol cannot have the same name as a reserved keyword.</strong></p>
