AT&T Syntax

AT&T syntax is a way of writing instructions for computer processors, especially in assembly language. It organizes commands with the source operand first, then the destination (e.g., `movl %eax, %ebx`). Registers and memory addresses are prefixed with symbols like `%` or `$`, clarifying whether you're referring to a register, a value, or a memory location. This syntax is common on Unix-like systems and helps programmers directly control hardware behavior, making it precise for low-level programming tasks.
