Loading and Adding

The goal of this chapter is to load various integer values into the CPU and perform basic addition and subtraction operations on these values. This sounds simple, but at the low level of Assembly Language, this can get complicated. In this chapter, we will go step-by-step through the various forms of the add, sub, and Shift instructions, to lay the groundwork on how all instructions work, especially in the way they handle parameters. This is so that in subsequent chapters, we can proceed at a faster pace as we encounter the rest of the RISC-V instruction set.
