A machine instruction is a simple program instruction in binary form. It comprises several bytes in memory that tells the processor how to perform one machine operation. The three types of instructions are: memory reference instruction, register reference instruction, and input-output instruction.

Topics include: Addressing Modes, Numbers and Arithmetic Operations, Memory Locations and Addresses, Memory Operations and Management, Instructions & Instruction Sequencing, Assembly Language, Subroutines and Nesting, & Parameter Passing and Stack Frame.
