NOP Instruction


The instruction NOP (No OPeration) makes nothing during one instruction. Nothing happens except that the program counter is set to the next instruction. NOP is used to make small delays (VERY small delays, to let hardware parts to act) and to create empty space in the program which can later be used for changes.
