Learn x84 & 64 or, C?

Hello all,

Just got a quick question since, i'm in a rush.
Should I learn x84 & x64 first which isn't an issue or, do I have to learn C before going into that stuff?

thanks,

C Is certainly advantageous to understand how to write simple programs, prior to moving onto Assembly.

They're not mutually exclusive, you can learn both at the same time or later on. I would stay as far away from *86 assembly while you're first learning though. The entire architecture is garbage.

I wasn't entirely sure whether one (particularly C) takes precedence, hence If anyone would know, It'd be you.

Late, but I'd personally do something like this:

Basic C or some other simple language -> Basic assembly in a simple architecture -> C -> assembly -> extra languages (Go, Lisp, Lua, Python, C#, whatever)

With basic CPU design somewhere in between the last 3; in this way, you get the full view of how your languages compile/interpret from high level down to hardware

There isn't really a precedence, you'd want to understand each on at least a minimal level

Doesn't matter if you replied late. Thanks for the advice.

Well said.

I completely forgot to quote you. In my views, either yourself or phyrrus9 are best/competent In addressing questions of this nature.

I already know a few languages.

Me, too! I am, a language, in myself. :smile:

Seems to be that you missed the + :wink:

Oh yes my bad I gave you a red please don't mind I am so sorry about this :stressed: :stressed:

Learning C will get you into the mindset of programming.
