04 SIC XE Programming 2

This document provides examples of SIC and SIC/XE assembly language instructions for common operations like data movement, arithmetic, and looping. It shows how to load and store values, perform addition and subtraction, and use indexing to move data between arrays. Examples are given for loading constants, variables into registers, performing arithmetic operations, and using jump and compare instructions within a loop to iterate through an array.

SIC and SIC/XE instructions that implement some tasks,
namely, data movement operations, sample arithmetic
operations, and finally looping and indexing operations.
