The difference between cmpl and cmp

Question

I am trying to understand assembly to be able to solve a puzzle. However I encountered the following instructions:

0x0000000000401136 <+44>:    cmpl   $0x7,         


        

Answer 1

Just to add one extra detail for clarification to @glglgl's excellent answer is that the "l" in "cmpl" is an operation suffix indicating that the operation is being done on a long number (32 bit integer or 64-bit floating point).
