+  R1 holds y, as described in the source code
+  R2 holds a, as described in the source code
+  R3 holds b, as described in the source code
+  R4 holds n, as described in the source code
+  R5 holds the output (sum), as described in the source code
+  R6 holds the number 0xB (for jumping to the end of the program)
+  R7 holds the number 0x6 (for jumping back)

+(0x0) LDA R1 ##MEMORY_LOCATION_OF_s##                  (loads the seed, s, into R1, which then becomes y as in the source code)
+(0x1) LDA R2 ##MEMORY_LOCATION_OF_a##                  (loads a into R2)
+(0x2) LDA R3 ##MEMORY_LOCATION_OF_b##                  (loads b into R3)
+(0x3) LDA R4 ##MEMORY_LOCATION_OF_n##                  (loads n into R4)
+(0x4) LDA R6 ##MEMORY_LOCATION_CONTAINING_0xA##        (loads 0xB, memory location of program end to R6)
+(0x5) LDA R7 ##MEMORY_LOCATION_CONTAINING_0x6##        (loads 0x6, memory location for jumping back)
+(0x6) JC4 R6 R4                                        (if R4, in this case, n, is equal to 0, then jump to end, STP)
+(0x7) MLA R1 R2 R3                                     (multiply and add, same as in the source code y=y*a+b)
+(0x8) ADD R5 R5 R1                                     (adds y to the sum, so that sum+=y, as in the source code)
+(0x9) SBO R4 R4                                        (decrease R4, i.e. n by one, so no infinite loops occur)
+(0xA) JMP R7                                           (jumps back to check whether n>0 and if so, repeats again)
+(0xB) STP

+Example that can be used with the instruction generator program:
+LDA R1 0
+LDA R2 1
+LDA R3 2
+LDA R4 3
+LDA R6 4
+LDA R7 5
+JC4 R6 R4
+MLA R1 R2 R3
+ADD R5 R5 R1
+SBO R4 R4
+JMP R7 R6
+STP
+
+Requires setting the following data memory location:
+Set location '0' to value of s;
+Set location '1' to value of a;
+Set location '2' to value of b;
+Set location '3' to value of n;
+Set location '4' to value of 0xB;
+Set location '5' to value of 0x6;
