        ;print hello world on the screen
        mov eax, 0x4
        mov ebx, 0x1
        mov ecx, message
        mov edx, mlen
        int 0x80

        ;exit the program gracefully
        mov eax, 0x1
        mov ebx, 0x5
        int 0x80

        message: db "Hello World!"
        mlen     equ $-message

;int 0x80 invoke a system call


For creating object from this .asm you need (install if missed nasn, sudo apt-get install nasm in Ubuntu)

sudo nasm -f elf32 -o helloworld.o hw.asm

and then

ld -o HelloWorld helloworld.o
