correct.

> here GPR0 is assigned value 5

so on startup of the simulator, the initial reg 0 will be 5, yes.

> e = ExpectedState(initial_regs, pc=4) ||| What does it do?

this says "we expect the state to be what is in the variable e" 

> e.intregs[3] = 0x10000
> is it here GPR3 is reassigned the value of 0x10000

and ExpectedState took a *copy* of its input GPR table,
which was "e.intregs[0] = 5" already (GPR0=5), now GPR3 is modified
to 0x10000

so, on completion of the execution of "addis GPR3 GPR0 1",
we EXPECT that GPR0 is still 5,
we EXPECT that GPR3 is 0x10000,
we EXPECT that pc=4.



> self.add_case(Program(lst, bigendian), initial_regs, expected=e) ||| what
> this does?

it says, "please add a case (add_case) of a Program to be run
(here is the assembly listing, lst), with the initial regs,
and when completed we EXPECT the results to be as we defined
in the variable e"

it is like reading English, but with some words missing.
