No overhead other than the executionof this DO instruction is required to set up this loop. DO loops can be nested and theloop count can be passed as a parameter.During the first instruction cycle, the current contents of the loop address (LA) and theloop counter (LC) registers are pushed onto the system stack. The DO instruction'ssource operand is then loaded into the loop counter (LC) register. The LC register containsthe remaining number of times the DO loop will be executed and can be accessedfrom inside the DO loop subject to certain restrictions. If LC equals zero, the DO loop is
