title: Converting from synthetic instructions to assembly directives using .word
body: <p>I was wondering how to take a line of Assembly code written in <b>synthetic instructions</b> and converting it by hand into .word <b>assembly directives</b>. For instance how do you go from something simple like</p>
  
  <pre><code>    add %i0, %i0, %i0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to</p>
  
  <pre><code>    .word 0xB0060018
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>A good, thorough explanation of the process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p>
