Instructoreference

The document provides an instruction set reference for the Instructo Paper Computer. It lists the computer's instructions in different categories such as input/output, registers, math functions, program flow, and more. Each instruction is of the form "Instruction Name, Memory Location" and performs an operation using the value stored at the given memory location. The instruction set allows entering and printing values, loading/storing registers, arithmetic, and conditional jumping to different program lines.

The Instructo Paper Computer

Instruction Set Reference


(adapted from Operator’s Manual page 12)

In each instruction:
* is either A or B (or C for the jump switches)
SS is a memory address: either some main storage address 90–99, or a program line 00–89, or IN for the
index counter.
# is either 0 or 1, referring to a jump switch value

Input/Output
ENI*, SS Enter value from Input * into memory location SS
PRO*, SS Print from memory location SS to Output *
PAB*, SS Print a mixed fraction on Output *. The whole number part comes from Register A, the numerator
from Register B, and the denominator from memory location SS
PBA*, SS Print a mixed fraction on Output *. The whole number part comes from Register B, the numerator
from Register A, and the denominator from memory location SS

Registers
LDR*, SS Load the number in memory location SS into Register *
STR*, SS Store the number in Register * into memory location SS
SWAP Swap the values in Registers A and B

Math functions
ADD*, SS Add the number in memory location SS into Register *
SUB*, SS Subtract the number in memory location SS from Register *
MUL*, SS Multiply the number in memory location SS into Register *
DVD*, SS Divide Register * by the number in memory location SS. Answer is a decimal
DIV*, SS Divide Register * by the number in memory location SS. Stores quotient in this register, and re-
mainder in the other.
EXP*, SS Raise Register * to the exponent from memory location SS
SQT* Take the square root of Register *
DRT* Take the digital root of Register *
REV* Reverse the digits of Register *

Index counter
INDL, SS Load the number in memory location SS into the Index Counter
INDA, SS Add the number in memory location SS into the Index Counter
INDS, SS Subtract the number in memory location SS from the Index Counter

Jump Switches & Compare Unit


SJ*#, SS Set Jump Switch * to value #
CPR*, SS Set up comparison between Register * and memory location SS. The next line should be one of the
compare unit Jump instructions
Program flow (execution jumping)
JUMP, SS Jump to program line SS
J*NZ, SS Jump to program line SS if memory location SSis nonzero
J*ZE, SS Jump to program line SS if memory location SSis zero
JIBD, SS Jump to program line SS if there is data showing in Input B
JJ*#, SS Jump to program line SS if Jump Switch #has value #
J*EQ, SS Jump to program line SS if values in the Compare Unit * are equal
J*NE, SS Jump to program line SS if values in the Compare Unit * are not equal
J*LT, SS Jump to program line SS if Register * is less than the other value in Compare Unit *
J*GT, SS Jump to program line SS if Register * is greater than the other value in Compare Unit *
J*NL, SS Jump to program line SS if Register * is not less than the other value in Compare Unit *
J*NG, SS Jump to program line SS if Register * is not greater than the other value in Compare Unit *
NOOP No instruction, continue to the next line
STOP End the program
