 | <h4 class="subsection">9.38.2 Syntax</h4> | 
 |  | 
 | <p>The assembler syntax closely follows the 'Z80 family CPU User Manual' by | 
 | Zilog.  | 
 | In expressions a single ‘<samp><span class="samp">=</span></samp>’ may be used as “is equal to” | 
 | comparison operator. | 
 |  | 
 |    <p>Suffices can be used to indicate the radix of integer constants; | 
 | ‘<samp><span class="samp">H</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">h</span></samp>’ for hexadecimal, ‘<samp><span class="samp">D</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">d</span></samp>’ for decimal, | 
 | ‘<samp><span class="samp">Q</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">O</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">q</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">o</span></samp>’ for octal, and ‘<samp><span class="samp">B</span></samp>’ for | 
 | binary. | 
 |  | 
 |    <p>The suffix ‘<samp><span class="samp">b</span></samp>’ denotes a backreference to local label. |
