Answer / sunny
XR Rx,Rx
This is the best way and most efficient way of initializing
the register values or Label values to '0'.
Its because the time required to execute a Logical
Instruction is always less than the Arithmetic Instructions.
e.g SR Rx,Rx consumes more execution time than XR Rx,Rx.
So XR Rx,Rx is a better way to do obtain our target.
