OPERATION
The instructions in this group all perform a conditional Branch depending on the state of the CPSR condition
codes. The branch offset must take account of the prefetch operation, which causes the PC to be 1 word (4 bytes)
ahead of the current instruction.
The THUMB assembler syntax is shown in the following table.
