== Encoding ===
 
Instructions have traditionally been encoded in [[binary]] words consisting of 32 [[bit|bits]], although recent trends increasingly suggest that they will be encoded in 64 bits. A bit is a one or a zero. For example, 1001110110110111111001100011101001100110101011 could be a valid computer instruction. Instructions usually have representations known as [[mnemonics]], such as MOV 100 X which are intelligible to human beings.
