There are two kinds of branch instructions:
Unconditional jump instructions: upon their execution a jump to a new location from where the program continues execution is executed.
Conditional jump instructions: a jump to a new program location is executed only if a specified condition is met. Otherwise, the program normally proceeds with the next instruction.
For the conditional jump it's address ranges from -128 bytes backward to + 127 bytes forward of the program counter (PC).
