### A good answer might be:

Yes.

# Condition Bit Holds its Value

The condition bit is like a one bit register. It continues to hold the value put into it by a comparison instruction until another comparison instruction is executed. The following code ensures that register `$f12` has the minimum of `$f0` or `$f2`. If they are equal, then `$f12` gets the value they both contain.

    main:   l.s     $f0,A            # get the values
            l.s     $f2,B            # into registers

            c.lt.s  $f0,$f2          # is A < B?
            mov.s   $f12,$f0         # move A to $f12
                                     # (condition bit holds its value)
            bc1t    common           # otherwise
            mov.s   $f12,$f2         # move B to $f12

    common:

The above code is contrived; it would be better to reverse the third and fourth statements. However, sometimes it is very useful to hold the condition bit's value for several instructions before using it.
