# S-type
{% hint style="info" %}
S-type instructions are used for store.
{% endhint %}
## S-Format Instruction Layout
* Mem\[Reg\[rs1] + offset] <- Reg\[rs2]
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Immediate in two parts**
* Can't have both *rs2* and *immediate* in same place as other instructions
* RISC-V design decision is move low 5 bits of immediate to where rd field was in other instructions - keep rs1/rs2 fields in same place
* register names more critical than immediate bits in hardware design
{% endhint %}
## I+S Immediate Generation
* Just need a 5-bit mux between two positions where low five bits of immediate can reside in instruction
* Other bits in immediate are wired to fixed positions in instruction
## Store Instructions
## Adding `sw` to datapath
{% hint style="info" %}
How to control the amount of bytes to write to memory?

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://byrzhm.gitbook.io/build-a-risc-v-chip-from-scratch/tutorial/datapath/s-type.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
