Detailed explanation-1: -In assembly language, mnemonics are used to specify an opcode that represents a complete and operational machine language instruction. This is later translated by the assembler to generate the object code.
Detailed explanation-2: -In computer assembler (or assembly) language, a mnemonic is an abbreviation for an operation. It’s entered in the operation code field of each assembler program instruction. for example AND AC, 37 which means AND the AC register with 37 . so AND, SUB and MUL are mnemonic.
Detailed explanation-3: -A simple instruction set of only 8 instructions used for teaching is known as the MU0 instruction set. It originated at Manchester University and is used for teaching both compiler writing and hardware design.
Detailed explanation-4: -Assembly language uses mnemonics to represent instructions. Writing in mnemonics is easier for programmers because they are usually brief representations of the commands. They are quicker to write than binary and it is easier to spot mistakes.
