Instruction set
The instruction set for the 80286 follows the same pattern as
that for the Intel 8086 and programs written for the 8086 are
compatible with the 80286 processor.
80287 floating point support
The 80286 can also be used with the 80287 floating point
coprocessor to provide acceleration for floating point calculations.
If the device is not present, it is possible to emulate the floating
point operations in software, but at a far lower performance.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
