• left: The left operand is shifted left the number of bits specified by the right operand.
• second: Get the number specified by the second operand, y say.
• right: The left operand is shifted left the number of bits specified by the right operand.
• first: The resulting string consists of the characters of the first operand followed by the characters of the second operand.

Modifies a noun

Noun used with modifier

• longword: If you attempt to read a word or longword operand at an odd address, the 68000 generates an address error exception.
• integer: The operators DIV and MOD apply to integer operands only.
• input: In addition, the lower 32 bits of the input operand are ignored.
• output: In such a case, use & for each output operand that may not overlap an input.
• memory: This restriction does not apply to the 32-bit memory operands.

Preposition: of

• operator: Caution If the first operand of the || operator evaluates to true, the second operand will not be evaluated.
• instruction: The operand of the instruction will specify how the data is to be interpreted -- e.g. signed integer, unsigned integer, character.
• type: A switch statement has an operand of type long.
