What is the history of mnemonic devices?
There is really no way to track that. People have always invented clever ways of remembering things!
What is the Language programmer writes one mnemonic instruction for each machine level instruction?
It is an assembler language programmer
A mnemonic code is a device by which one can remember a string of data or formulae; for instance, "My very eccentric mother just served us noodles" is a mnemonic for remembering the (now) 8 planets in the solar system in the order of their distance from the sun. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
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.
For reasons does the loci method work as a mnemonic device?
its easy to remember what familiar physical locations look like
everyone knows certain places very well(=
A mnemonic is a memory aid. Mnemonics use short familiar ideas (like a silly sentence, a song, or a set of short words) to help you remember longer ideas and terms. Stop, Drop, and Roll (instructions for what to do during a fire) is an example.
What is the mnemonic for colors?
ROYGBIV - Just say it as "roy-juh-biv" and for me, the word was so odd that I remembered it ever since.
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Is there a mnemonic device for interrupt?
Im looking for a mnemonic to help me remember how to spell the following words: interrupt imaginary concentration
The purpose is to aid in memory . A rhyme, song, or acrostic allow a person to recall needed information. For example, when someone wishes to know how many days there are in June, he or she can recite the following: "Thirty days have September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except for February, which stands alone."
What are the order of operations mnemonic?
BODMAS = Brackets, Of, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
BODMAS = Brackets, Order, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
BODMAS = Brackets, Other, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
BIDMAS = Brackets, Index, Divide, Multiply, [Add and Subtract]
I have bracketed Add and Subtract as when they are found together, they are done in the order they are found: from left to right.
eg 1 + 2 - 3 is (1 + 2) - 3 and NOT 1 + (2 - 3) as the mnemonic would suggest.
With Divide and Multiply, they can be done either left to right, or by doing the divide first, and the correct answer will be found, eg:
2 x 6 ÷ 3 = (2 x 6) ÷ 3 = 2 x (6 ÷ 3)
Note:
6 ÷ 3 x 2 = (6 ÷ 3) x 2 ≠ 6 ÷ (3 x 2)
But the last possibility would not be attempted as 'left to right' and 'divide first' are the same calculation (doing the division); showing that following strict 'DM' of BODMAS always works.
My own creation: to get the sum correct, you will be under the watchful eye of the Bod Tsar:
BODTSAR = Brackets, Of/Order/Other, Divide, Times, Subtract, Add (in order to get the) Result.
Which fixes the slight imperfection that the B*DMAS don't show that the pairs of operations Divide & Multiply, and Subtract & Add have the same priority and are done in left to right order. However, if you always Divide before Multiplying (Timesing) and Subtract before Adding in those pairs, you will get the correct result, hence my mnemonic
How do mnemonic devices help memory?
Well the words of formula or an easy rhyme represent what you are trying to remember, for instance the first letter of the phrase:- "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" allows you to remember all the colours of the rainbow in the correct order. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
