It then explains each of the data processing instructions, giving a short example showing how they can be used. Short examples, relating the assembly instructions to C statements, are incorporated throughout the chapter. One of the examples shows how to construct a loop. After the data processing instructions are explained, the chapter covers the special instructions and pseudo-instructions. ...
