What is the difference between an instruction mnemonic and its opcode?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mnemonic means memory aid.

Instruction mnemonics are easy to remember short alphanumeric strings that stand for op codes.

Op codes are numbers that are understood by the computer and command it to perform various operations. They are usually inherently difficult for humans to remember.

Mnemonic means "of, or designed to aid the memory"
mnemonics are the word to remember something.Normally in assembly language it is the code that is from 1 to 5 that represents an opcode followed by other numbers specialy the operands.

Looking up all numbers takes a lot of time, and mis-remembering a number may introduce errors.to reduce these errors mnemonics is used.

Asked by Wiki User

Sometimes information that we need to remember is boring to our minds. Mnemonic devices make them seem more interesting. It is easier to recall the information when connected to the interesting factor in the mnemonic device than it would be to remember the boring fact on it's own.
