(programming) A word or acronym used in assembly language to represent a binary machine instruction operation code. Different processors have different instruction set and therefore use a different set of mnemonics to represent them.
Which is an example of a mnemonic in assembly language?
Assembly language instructions use abbreviations called mnemonics. An example of a mnemonic assembly language instruction is LDA 50 which stores the value 50 into a register of the CPU .
What are instructions in assembly language?
An instruction is a statement that is executed at runtime. An x86 instruction statement can consist of four parts: Label (optional) Instruction (required) Operands (instruction specific)
Why are assemblies called mnemonics?
With assembly language, each instruction can be written as a short word, called a mnemonic, followed by other things like numbers or other short words. The mnemonic is used so that the programmer does not have to remember the exact numbers in machine code needed to tell the computer to do something.

What are the four different types of instructions assembly?
Types of Assembly Languages
- Assembly language closely tied to processor architecture. At least four main types:
- CISC: Complex Instruction-Set Computer. RISC: Reduced Instruction-Set Computer.
- DSP: Digital Signal Processor. VLIW: Very Long Instruction Word.
