Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compare operation in Von Neumann machines compares two values and updates the condition codes to represent the result. The condition codes are a special set of bits used to indicate whether the last operation resulted in a specific condition, such as if the values were equal or if one value was greater than the other. This is commonly used in conditional branching where the program will execute a different set of instructions based on the condition codes.
