Segments are initialized by allocating a specific block of memory for each segment, typically during the setup of a program's execution environment. In systems that use segmentation, the operating system creates segment tables that define the starting address and length of each segment. These segments can include code, data, and stack areas, allowing for modular organization of a program's memory. Initialization may also involve setting initial values or flags to prepare the segments for use by the application.
The system programs responsible for loading binary code into memory for execution are known as loaders. A loader takes the executable file, allocates memory for it, and prepares the program for execution by resolving addresses and linking necessary libraries. This process typically occurs as part of a larger system called the operating system, which manages resources and facilitates program execution. Once the binary code is loaded, the operating system's scheduler can then initiate its execution.

A symbolic constant is a variable that is assigned a fixed value that cannot be changed during the program's execution, often represented by a name that conveys its meaning (e.g., PI = 3.14). In contrast, a literal constant is a fixed value directly embedded in the code, such as 3.14 or "Hello", which does not have an associated name. Symbolic constants improve code readability and maintainability, while literal constants provide immediate values without the need for additional identifiers.
To represent the name "Sam" in binary code, you need to convert each letter to its ASCII value and then to binary. The ASCII values for 'S', 'a', and 'm' are 83, 97, and 109, respectively. In binary, these values are represented as: 'S' = 01010011, 'a' = 01100001, and 'm' = 01101101. Therefore, "Sam" in binary code is 01010011 01100001 01101101.

There are four segment registers on the 8086 and 8088. These are CS (code for code), DS (data segment), ES (extra data segment), and SS (stack segment).
To implement a timer in Fortran to measure the execution time of your program, you can use the SYSTEMCLOCK function. This function returns the current processor time, which can be used to calculate the elapsed time. You can call SYSTEMCLOCK before and after the code segment you want to measure, and then calculate the difference to determine the execution time.

brief note about code segment
The repeated execution of a loop of code while waiting for an event to occur is called busy-waiting. The CPU is not engaged in any real productive activity during this period, and the process does not progress toward completion.
Faster execution of code.
One code-segment. One data-segment. Thus neither code nor data may be greater than 64K
Any single value or list of values can be used in the value list of a case clause, such as integers, strings, characters, enums, or constants. It is important to note that duplicate values are not allowed in the value list.
