Exercise 2.23

2.23 Consider a proposed new instruction named rpt. This instruction combines a loop's condition check and counter decrement into a single instruction. For example rpt X29. loop would do the following: if (x29 > 0) X29 - X29 -1; goto loop 2.23.1 (5) If this instruction were to be added to the RISC-V instruction set, what is the most appropriate instruction format? 2.23.2 [5] What is the shortest sequence of RISC-V instructions that performs the same operation
