Question

Answer the questions that follow about the structure and operation of the program that follows. Does instruction 5 represent a conditional or unconditional jump operation? Does instruction 8 represent a conditional or unconditional jump operation? Write a numeric expression in terms of symbols Value_A, Value_B, and/or Value_C that represents the computation that instruction 4 performs to create the conditional test criteria in the flags. What is the "criteria" that will make the conditional jump to be "taken" (express the answer in terms of a state (0 or 1) of a specific flag (CF, ZF, SF, PF, etc). Which instruction(s) represent the "Then path" (Just list the I numbers: 12, 12 etc.) Which instruction(s) represent the "Else path." (Just list the I numbers: II, 12, etc.) In which register is the result produced? Is this result a byte-wide, or word-wide number?

Explanation / Answer

Ans.1. Conditional: It will only jump if the current statement is false.

Ans.2. Unconditional: It will jump to "Next" in all conditions.

Ans.3. If value_B = value_C

Ans.4. CF = 1. JC means jump on carry

Ans.5. I9
I6

Ans.6. Register CX contains the result. It is byte-wide.
