A register is a device that can hold a binary number or series of bits. Most registershave the ability to shift, or rotate, the series of bits to the right or left. A counter is a similar device that does not shift bits but can be incremented by one or more of it's inputs (counting). A good way to see what they do is to look up digital logic devices and read about registers and counters.

Difference between a counter and a register?

A register can hold data, and it can be used for temporary storage or, in the case of an accumulator, it can participate in arithmetic or logical operations. A counter is a special case of a register. Usually, it can only be loaded, stored, or incremented, or used for the stack or as the program counter.

Which register holds a count for some instructions?

The register that typically holds a count for certain instructions is the Counter Register, often referred to as the Program Counter (PC). It keeps track of the address of the next instruction to be executed in the instruction sequence. In some architectures, specific registers like the Loop Counter may also be used for counting iterations in loop instructions.


What does program counter contain?
