Mnemonic Code
Mnemonic Code :
(ICT) A computer programming term. At their most fundamental level, within a register on the CPU for example, computers run instructions in binary form, like this:- 1001110001101101. Now, this may be a perfectly valid instruction for a computer but it is extremely difficult for humans to write computer instructions in this form. What is needed is a computer programming language that use some more people-friendly commands. These commands are called 'mnemonic codes'. In other words a code that is readily memorised by human programmers. A collection of menomic codes together form the 'assembly language' for a specific CPU. Each CPU such as the Athlon or Intel chips have their own assembly language. To create the final program, the assembly language commands are translated into binary (or machine code) by a piece of software called a translator
