    Study Notes

    Flag Register and INC CL Instruction

    • After the instruction INC CL is executed, the value of CL is incremented by 1.
    • The Sign Flag (SF) is affected by the most significant bit of the result, being set to 1 if the result is negative and 0 if it's positive.
    • The Carry Flag (CF) is set to 1 if there is a carry from the most significant bit, otherwise, it's 0.
    • The Zero Flag (ZF) is set to 1 if the result is zero, and 0 if it's not.

    Flag Settings after AND BL, 0FH

    • The flag settings after the AND BL, 0FH instruction depend on the result of the AND operation.

    FLAGS Register

    • The Carry Flag (CF) indicates whether an operation has generated a carry from the most significant bit.
    • The Parity Flag (PF) is set to 1 if the result has even parity, and 0 if it has odd parity.
    • The Auxiliary Carry Flag (AF) indicates whether an operation has generated a carry from the lower nibble (bits 3-0) to the upper nibble (bits 7-4).
    • The Sign Flag (SF) is set to 1 if the result is negative, and 0 if it's positive.
    • The Overflow Flag (OF) indicates whether an operation has generated an overflow, which occurs when the result is greater than the maximum value that can be represented.
