assembly help

Hi I'm learning to program in assembly using the Motarolla 68HC11 chip.

Whats the difference betweeen these two lines?

ldx #label5

and

ldx label5

where label5: fcb $34,$f2

Doesn't the address of label5 just get stored into X after both lines?

Thanks!

I think that one of them loads x with the address of label5, while the other loads x with the contents of label5.

It's been a long time since I used a 68xx assembler, but I think the #label5 loads the address as an immediate value.

Thanks!

I just figured that out myself too
