Corpus analysis for Operand
- In this selection, "operand" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 24.6 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, first, memory, left, push, may and evaluates stand out and add context to how "operand" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include an operand of a and the second operand. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "operand" sits close to words such as aau, abandons and affections, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with operand
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
An operand of a conjunction is a conjunct. (8 words)
An operand of a disjunction is called a disjunct. (9 words)
Basic instructions :000 – AND – AND the memory operand with AC. (10 words)
An interesting side effect of this implementation is that a program can store a 64-bit value (the longest operand format) to memory while in one endian mode, switch modes, and read back the same 64-bit value without seeing a change of byte order. (45 words)
Because one operator and two operands are removed and one operand is added, there is a net loss of one operator and one operand, which still leaves an expression with N operators and N + 1 operands, thus allowing the iterative process to continue. (43 words)
On many other microprocessors such as the Intel x86 family, it turns out that the XOR variant is shorter and probably faster, as there will be no need to decode an immediate operand, nor use the internal "immediate operand register". (40 words)

For stack machines, the terms "0-operand" and "zero-address" apply to arithmetic instructions, but not to all instructions, as 1-operand push and pop instructions are used to access memory.
However, this memory operand may also be the destination (or a combined source and destination), while the other operand, the source, can be either register or immediate.
It contains a 6-bit opcode field, followed by the Ra field, which specifies the register containing the first operand and the Rb field, specifies the register containing the second operand.
Logical disjunction is usually short-circuited ; that is, if the first (left) operand evaluates to true then the second (right) operand is not evaluated.
Lua allows operator overloading as syntactic sugar for method calls with the added feature that if the first operand doesn't define that operator, the method for the second operand will be used.
One thing to keep in mind is that when executing an operation, the operation is applied to the first operand by the second operand.
On many other microprocessors such as the Intel x86 family, it turns out that the XOR variant is shorter and probably faster, as there will be no need to decode an immediate operand, nor use the internal "immediate operand register".
The addresses pointed to operand descriptors which contained the actual operand address and additional information.
The carry is generated by performing an unsigned compare on the result with either operand to see if the result is smaller than either operand.
When a "destination operand" explicitly specifies the destination, an additional operand must be supplied.
Accumulator mode uses the accumulator as an effective address, and does not need any operand data.
Addressing modes could involve up to two displacements and two memory indirections per operand as well as scaled indexing, making the longest conceivable instruction 23 bytes.
An accumulator machine has a combined left operand and result in an implicit accumulator for most arithmetic instructions.
An interesting side effect of this implementation is that a program can store a 64-bit value (the longest operand format) to memory while in one endian mode, switch modes, and read back the same 64-bit value without seeing a change of byte order.
An operand of a conjunction is a conjunct.
An operand of a disjunction is called a disjunct.
A simple example (in the x86 architecture) is : MOV DS, AX where the value in register operand 'AX' is to be moved into register 'DS'.
B also introduced the increment and decrement operators (++ and --); Their prefix or postfix position determines whether the value is taken prior or post alteration of the operand.
Basic instructions :000 – AND – AND the memory operand with AC.
