Yes, the architecture on which you&#x27;re most likely reading this (x86 or x64) also has semi-dedicated string handling instructions, akin to higher level string functions.<p>For example, a string copy &#x27;instruction&#x27; that copies a 0 terminated string from one location to another looks like this:<p><pre><code>  lea esi, source_string
  lea edi, dest_string
  repnz movsb           ; copies esi -&gt; edi until *esi = 0</code></pre>
