Mnemonic

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001504

A human-readable abbreviation or code used in assembly language to represent a specific machine code instruction for a processor. Mnemonics provide a more memorable and understandable way to program at a low level compared to writing raw binary or hexadecimal operation codes. For instance, the mnemonic 'MOV' might represent an instruction to move data, 'ADD' for addition, and 'JMP' for an unconditional jump.
