#### 2.1.2.11 Miscellaneous operators ¶

Finally, we list in the following table three miscellaneous MIX instructions which do not fit in any of the previous subsections:

`MOVE` ¶

  Move MOD words from M to the location stored in rI1. OPCODE = 7, MOD = no. of words.

`NOP` ¶

  No operation. OPCODE = 0, MOD = 0.

`HLT` ¶

  Halt. Stops instruction fetching. OPCODE = 5, MOD = 2.

The only effect of executing ‘`NOP`’ is increasing the location counter, while ‘`HLT`’ usually marks program termination.
