is very flexible in its use of operands, as long as the following rules are observed:

  • Both operands can not be memory operands. For the example, move the value of to the value of :
  • Both operands must be the same size.
  • , , and registers can not be destination operands.
  • An immediate value can not be moved to a segment register.
