I study ASM-86 language at high school and I want to program a little at home.
Do you know any "compiler" for this language that I can program and view the state of the memory?

A:
A compiler for an assembly language is commonly called "an assembler".
MASM and NASM are two popular ones. Another pretty good option is writing inline assembly in Visual C++, thus benefiting from its great debugger.

I understand that NASM is an assembler,and the program that I use to check the memory is radare?And thanks for all the responses :)

gdb, GNU debugger.

If you are under Linux, the easiest choice is probably a combination of :
Both are included with your Linux system (or can be installed automatically by simply selecting them from the package manager). I personally prefer Unix systems for developing. YMMV.

if you mean for x86 assembly, I prefer yasm http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/
Supports 16, 32, and 64 bit coding and has fairly good macro support. Also portable to different platforms unlike assemblers like fasm.

Remember, he wants to view memory (and probably registers) too.
The gdb debugger is a real pain to work with assembler code. (Don't get me wrong, I'm a fanboy).
The Insight debugger uses gdb for a back end, although the one time I tried to use it on a real program, I couldn't get it to work correctly.
The Open Watcom project has free tools and a windowed debugger. You can use the included WASM assembler or NASM with the debug switch to allow viewing memory by label.
