abundans cautela non nocet Latin saying

the ℕ𝕠𝕞 no opertion command

The nop command which does nothing.

It is strangely satisfying to include a command or operation which does nothing. Maybe it is even mathematically necessary. In any case it exists in the nom language and does absolutely nothing. Possibly I wanted to pretend the the pep machine is like a real logic machine which usually have a no operation command for reasons that escape me.

do nothing
 nop;

The nom compiler nomsf//compile.pss does not permit empty curly braces as a block because what would be the purpose of that. But you can put a nop in the braces to make the script compile if you insist.

notes

In the translation scripts this command is removed and replaced with a comment.
