In the description of the Hack machine language in chapter 4, it is stated that in well-written programs a C-instruction that may cause a jump should not contain a reference to M, and vice versa. Discuss why this should be avoided.

Out refers to the ALU output (resulting from the instruction's comp part), and jump implies "continue execution with the instruction addressed by the A register The last instruction (0;JMP) effects an unconditional jump. Since the C-instruction syntax requires that we always effect some computation, we instruct the ALU to compute 0 (an arbitrary choice), which is ignored. Conflicting Uses of the A Register As was just illustrated, the programmer can use the A register to select either a data memory location for a subsequent C-instruction involving M, or an instruction memory location for a subsequent C-instruction involving a jump. Thus, to prevent conflicting use of the A register, in well-written programs a C-instruction that may cause a jump (i.e., with some non-zero bits) should not contain a reference to M, and vice versa
