What is the function of a JMP command?

The JMP command is fundamentally designed to facilitate control flow within a program by allowing the execution to jump to a specific label or another section of the program. This capability is particularly important in programming robotic applications, where executing certain operations based on conditions or controlling the sequence of actions is often necessary. By using the JMP command, programmers can direct the robot to skip over certain code segments or return to previously defined points in the program. This enhances modularity and allows for more efficient program structure, enabling robotic systems to react dynamically to various situations during operation.

In contrast, options such as executing a conditional function, initiating a debugging sequence, or pausing program execution do not encapsulate the primary purpose of the JMP command. Those functions are typically handled by different sets of commands or control structures specifically designed for their respective needs.
