CPU Flags and Operations Analysis

The document contains instructions and flags for operations on registers AL, AX, BX. a) NEG AL sets AL to 81h, CF to 1, others 0 b) XCHG AX,BX swaps values, no flag effects c) ADD AL,BL sets AL to 17Fh, CF to 1, others 0 except OF to 1 d) SUB AX,BX sets AX to 8000h, CF to 1, SF to 1, others 1 except OF to 1 (borrow in but not out) e) NEG AX sets AX to FFFFh, CF to 1, others 1 except OF to 0

SECTION B
For each of the following instructions, give the new destination contents and the new
settings of CF, SF, ZF, PF, AF, and OF. Suppose that the flags are initially O in each part
al this question.

a. NEG AL where AL contains 7Fh

NEG AL ;AL=7Fh
7=111,F=1111
1 's compliment= 1000 0000

CF=11 (result is not zero)
ZF=0
PF=1
OF=0

XCHG AX, BX ;
AX=1ABCh,
BX= 712A h
No effect at any flag

ADD A, BL ; AL=80h, BL=FFh

b. XCHG AX,BX where AX contains 1ABCh and BX contains 712Ah


c. ADD AL,BL where AL contains 80h and BL contains FFh
d. SUB AX,BX where AX contains OOOOh and BX contains 8000h
e. NEG 'AX where AX contains 0001h

Suppose SUB AX, BX is executed. In each of the following parts, the first number is the
initial content of AX and the second number is the contents of BX. Give the resulting value
of AX and tell whether signed or unsigned overflow occurred.

a) 2143-1986h
2143=0010 0001 0100 0011
1986=0001 1001 1000 1101
