<programming> A word or acronym used in assembly language to
represent a binary machine instruction operation code.
Different processors have different instruction set and
therefore use a different set of mnemonics to represent
them.
E.g. ADD, B (branch), BLT (branch if less than), SVC, MOVE,
LDR (load register).
