Computer Architecture / Chapter 3: Control Flow Instructions 1 / Introduction

Introduction

In this chapter, we are going to explore control flow instructions, which are instructions that affect the Program Counter. Normally, instructions execute sequentially. For example, instruction #0 executes, then instruction #1, then instruction #2, and so on. But with control flow instructions, we can tell the computer to jump to an arbitrary instruction. Then instructions can be skipped, or instructions that have already been executed may be executed again.
