Explanation

In assembly language, symbolic names called mnemonics represent machine instructions or functions. For example, COM1 is the mnemonic for the first serial port on a PC. Mnemonics simplify programming by providing readable codes such as CMP for 'compare' and JE for 'jump if equal' in x86 assembly.
