 In a higher level language `Line 3` would look like this:
 
 ```c++
-*(--sp) = x21;
-*(--sp) = x30;
+// Stack grows towards smaller addresses. Traditionally, 
+// diagrams of memory place 0 at the top and higher

-That is, subtract 8 from the stack pointer and copy `x21` to that
-location. Then, subtract 8 from the stack pointer and copy `x30` to that
-location.
+In a diagram the results of `stp x21, x30, [sp, -16]!` looks like this:
+
+| address | value |
+| ------- | ----- |
+| smaller address | x21 |
+| larger address | x30 |

 **The stack pointer in ARM V8 can only be manipulated in multiples of
 16.**
