-=>Quoting Scott Little to All <=-
SL>Does the assembler command JUMP have anything in common with a GOTO?
Both transfers control to another part of the program. And, that's
about it.
BTW, there is no JUMP command. Nor is JMP an assembler command. JMP
is a memonic that will cause the assembler to code for a machine
instruction. It's that machine instruction that "commands" the CPU to
jump to some other location in the program.
Machine code is as close to the heart of that beast as you can get.
It takes just one instruction to perform a JMP. A GOTO in
interpretive BASIC, on-the-other-hand, will likely take several
hundred to a thousand machine instructions to execute.
Compiled BASIC is a different matter.
Capiche?
