(the asterixes in the title count as an incrementing number)

It looks like “.LC0” always has something to do with the main method and that “.LC*” always have something to do with strings but I don’t know what the purpose of this is. Also what does “.L*” mean?

here some examples of what i mean.
I picked random sections of my code please tell me if that was wrong and i should have copypasted all my code on here
(code was generated by using following command on an 64bit intel CPU running windows: gcc main.c -S):

.LC0:
    .ascii "%x"
    .text
    .globl  main
    .def    main;   .scl    2;  .type   32; .endef
    .seh_proc   main

.LC3:
    .ascii "methodactivated "

.L3:
    movb    $120, currentPlayerInsignia(%rip)

.L18:
    nop
    addq    $32, %rsp
    popq    %rbp
    ret
    .seh_endproc
    .section .rdata,"dr"
