Mnemonic means "of, or designed to aid the memory"
mnemonics are the word to remember something.Normally in assembly language it is the code that is from 1 to 5 that represents an opcode followed by other numbers specialy the operands.

While programming in machine code, by supplying the computer with the numbers of the operations is a burden, because for every operation the corresponding number must be known. Looking up all numbers takes a lot of time, and mis-remembering a number may introduce errors.to reduce these errors mnemonics is used.
