It means set of Instruction. Minimum set of instructruction should be 25 . Instruction
Set
The set of instruction are said to be complete if the user can construct any function that is known to be computable .
Instruction Set Completeness
An Instruction code is a group of bits that instructs the computer to perform a specific operation .
Instruction Code
An Operation Code is a group of bits that define operation ,such as addition,substraction,multiplication etc.When this operation code is decoded in the control unit the computer issues control signal to read an operand from memory .
Operation Code
The simplest way to organize a computer is to have one processor register and an instruction code format with two parts. The first part specifies the operation to be performed and the second specifies an address .
Types Of Instruction
The basic computer has three instruction code formats.Each format has 16 bits. The operation code part of the instruction contains 3 bits,the remaining of the remaining 13 bits depends on the operation code encountered.
When the bits in the second part of the instruction designate an address of a memory word in which the address of the operand is found, it is called Indirect Address. A indirect address instruction is shown in the following figure :
Direct Addressin

When the second part of an instruction code specifies an operand, the instruction is said to have a direct address.A direct address instruction is shown in the following figure :
