Explanation

NOP performs no operation but consumes 4 clock cycles. NOP has its –CON– field set to all zeros, the NEVER condition; effectively, every instruction with a NEVER condition is a NOP instruction. Because of this, the NOP instruction can never be preceded by a Condition, such as IF_Z or IF_C_AND_Z, since it can never be conditionally executed.
