# OUT Statement

#### Purpose:

To send a byte to a machine output port.

#### Syntax:

    OUT h,j

#### Comments:

h and j are integer expressions. h may be within the range of 0 to 65535. j may be within the range of 0 to 255. h is a machine port number, and j is the data to be transmitted.

OUT is the complementary statement to the INP function.

#### Examples:

    100 OUT 12345,225

Outputs the decimal value 225 to port number 12345. In assembly language, this is equivalent to the following:

    MOV DX,12345
    MOV AL,255
    OUT DX,AL
