                                            Example: myseg:>bp
                                            The pointer bp acts as an
                                            offset into the segment
                                            specified by myseg.
  ────────────────────────Conditional───────────────────────────────────────
                ? :                       Conditional
                                            Example:
                                            (val >= 0) ? val : -val
                                            If the condition is true,
                                            the expression evaluates
                                            to val. If not, the
                                            expression equals -val.
