Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

compare instruction

An instruction that subtracts one value from another only to set the flags, throwing the difference away.

cmp a, b (x86-64) and cmp xa, xb (ARM64, an alias of subs xzr, xa, xb) compute a - b, set the status flags as a subtraction would, and write no register.
