LC3

LC3, which stands for "Little Computer 3," is a simple, educational computer architecture designed to help students learn how computers process instructions. It mimics how real computers read, interpret, and execute commands using a basic set of operations. Think of it as a miniature, simplified version of a computer system that shows the fundamental steps involved in computing: fetching instructions, decoding them, and then executing them. This makes LC3 a valuable tool for understanding computer organization, programming, and how software interacts with hardware.
