Jump Mnemonic

In the example below JMP (jump) causes the program control to go to the marker 'A10' within the program. We can see code which loops continuousy, adding 1 to the value in AX:
Program Explanation A10: Names the marker for the program so it knows where to go to ADD AX,01 adds 1 to the value in AX JMP A10 the program goes to the A10 marker and executes the code below it. Jump may have to be replaced by 'branch' for some processors used to run the code.
