3. store components register data temporarily
before or after the microprocessor's
calculations.
For instance, the instruction register stores
instruction code for the microprocessor's
calculations.

4. A flag is one or more data bits used to store
binary values as specific program structure
indicators.
A computer interprets a flag value in relative
terms or based on the data structure presented
during processing, and uses the flag to mark a
specific data structure. Thus, the flag value
directly impacts the processing outcome.

7. A string is a collection of objects stored in
contiguous memory locations. Strings are
usually arrays of bytes, words, or (on 80386 and
later processors) double words. The 80x86
microprocessor family supports several
instructions specifically designed to cope with
strings.
