Copyright 2000ELEC 242 Arithmetic Instructions1 Arithmetic Instructions Arithmetic and logical instructions modify the contents of the Flag (Status) register based on the operation performed and the result of the operation.

Copyright 2000ELEC 242 Arithmetic Instructions2 ADD ADD destination,source DEST <= DEST + SOURCE The operand may be immediate, a register, or memory. Both Operands must be the same size. ADD AL,BH ;AL <= AL + BH ADD [SUM],AX ;[SUM] <= [SUM] + AX ADD EAX, 5 ;EAX <= EAX H

Copyright 2000ELEC 242 Arithmetic Instructions3 ADD – Flag Modification mov al, 0FFh; AL <= AL + 0FFH add al,1; AL=00h, OF=0, CF=1 add al, 07FH; AL=80h, OF=1, CF=0 add al,80h; AL=00h, OF=1, CF=1 Therefore, we may have either type of overflow or both types of overflow at the same time

Copyright 2000ELEC 242 Arithmetic Instructions4 SUB SUB destination,source DEST <= DEST - SOURCE The operand may be immediate, a register, or memory. Both operands must be of the same size and they cannot be both mem operands Recall that to perform A - B the CPU in fact performs A + (-B) or 2’s complement addition.

Copyright 2000ELEC 242 Arithmetic Instructions5 SUB – Flag Modification affect all the status flags based on the result ZF (zero flag) = 1 iff (if and only if) the result is zero SF (sign flag) = 1 iff the msb of the result is one OF (overflow flag) = 1 iff there is a signed overflow CF (carry flag) = 1 iff there is an unsigned overflow Signed overflow: when the operation generates an out-of- range signed value Unsigned overflow: when the operation generates an out- of-range unsigned value Both types of overflow occur independently and are indicated individually by CF and OF

Copyright 2000ELEC 242 Arithmetic Instructions9 Multiply Instructions The multiply instruction multiplies an 8-bit, 16- bit, or 32-bit operand in AL, AX, or EAX by a register or memory multiplier. The operand cannot be immediate. The instruction format is: mulreg mulmem

Copyright 2000ELEC 242 Arithmetic Instructions17 Compare Instruction Compare is similar to subtract The result is not retained. Only the flags are set or cleared. The syntax of the instruction is CMP DEST,SOURCE Both operands must be the same data size. Based on the results of the compare, all flags are set or cleared.
