Practical related questions:
1. Write the flag used to check whether the number is Positive or Negative.
The Carry flag (CF) is used to check whether the number is Positive or Negative.
2. Which bit of 8-bit/16-bit number is used to decide if number is Positive or Negative?
The msb, that is D15 bit of 8-bit/16-bit number is used to decide if number is positive or
negative.

Exercise:
1. Write an ALP to count Positive as well as Negative numbers in array of 10 numbers.
2. Write an ALP to add the all Positive numbers in array of 10 numbers.
