$.(5$ points$)$ Suppose we have the following instructions:

LDAB #$$0$F

BLS AHEAD

Will the program take the branch? Give a convincing reason. For example, just stating $$the branch will

be taken because the number is greater$$ is insufficient. Rather, come up with the decimal value of the

numbers to show that a number is greater than the other. A correct branch prediction with incorrect,

missing, or insufficient reason will result in $0$ points.
