This chapter describes two more conditional branch instructions and two conditional set instructions. Set instructions set a register to 1 or 0 depending on whether a condition is true or false.
These new instructions help you implement loops and branches. But this is still a difficult task. Study this chapter to gain insight into what compilers do for you.
