Why are RISC programs that perform similar functions to CISC programs generally larger?
What will be an ideal response?
CISC instructions are generally compact and come from an era when memory was very expensive and short
programs necessary. RISC instructions use a regular encoding format and do not attempt to cram as many
instructions into a few bits as possible (if you use irregular encoding you have to have a more complex
instruction decoder in the CPU which means that it takes longer to execute an instruction).
