  op code
  
     <programming> A word or acronym used in assembly language to
     represent a binary machine instruction operation code.
     Different processors have different instruction set and
     therefore use a different set of mnemonics to represent
     them.
  
     E.g. ADD, B (branch), BLT (branch if less than), SVC, MOVE,
     LDR (load register).
