Arithmetic Group Instructions (Part-III)

SUB R:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of specified register from the contents of the accumulator.
  • Register R can by any general purpose register like A, B, C, D, E, H and L.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • Subtraction is performed by 2's complement method.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register addressing mode is used.
Example:
If A =50H and C = 30H
SUB C ; This instruction subtracts the contents of C (30H) from the contents of A (50H) and the result (20H) is stored in A.

SUB M:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of the memory location pointed by HL register pair from the contents of the accumulator.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • Subtraction is performed by 2's complement method.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register indirect addressing mode is used.
Example:
If HL = 1000H, (1000H) = 10H and A = 40H
SUB M ; This instruction subtracts the contents of location 1000H i.e. 10H from the contents of A (40H) and result 30H is stored in A.

SBB R:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of specified register and carry flag (borrow flag for subtraction) from the contents of the accumulator.
  • Register R can by any general purpose register like A, B, C, D, E, H and L.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register addressing mode is used.
Example:
If CY = 1, A = 40H and C = 20H
SBB C ; This instruction subtracts the contents of C (20H) and carry (1) from the contents of A (40H) and the result (1FH) is stored in A.

SBB M:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of the memory location pointed by HL register pair and borrow flag from the contents of the accumulator.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register indirect addressing mode is used.
Example:
If CY = 1, HL =1000H, (1000H) = 10H and A = 50H
SBB M ; This instruction subtracts the contents of location 1000H i.e. 10H and carry (1) from the contents of A (50H) and result 3FH is stored in A.

Program to pack the two unpacked BCD numbers

Statement: Pack the two unpacked BCD numbers stored in memory locations 2000H and 2001H and store the result in memory location 2002H. The least significant digit is stored at 2000H. Example: (2000H) = 04H (2001H) = 09H Result = (2002H) = 94H Program: LDA 2001H                        ; Obtain the most significant BCD digit RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left...

Program to exchange the contents of two memory locations

Statement: Exchange the contents of memory locations 2000H and 2001H. Example:  Initially, (2000H) = 34H (2001H) = 20H After exchanging, (2000H) = 20H (2001H) = 34H Program 1 using direct addressing instructions: LDA 2000H               ; Get the contents of location 2000H into accumulator MOV B, A                  ; Move the contents of accumulator into register B LDA 2001H                ; Get the contents of location 2001H into accumulator STA 2000H                 ; Store the contents of accumulator into location 2000H MOV A, B                  ; Move the contents of register B into accumulator STA 2001H                 ; Store the contents of accumulator into location 2001H HLT  ...

Program to add the contents of two memory locations

Statement: Add the contents of memory locations 2000H and 2001H and place the result in the memory locations 2002H and 2003H. Example: (2000H) = C3H (2001H) = 29H Result = C3H + A9H = 016CH (2002H) = 6CH (2003H) = 01H Program: LXI H, 2000H                   ; HL points to location 2000H MOV A, M                        ; Move the contents of 2000H into accumulator INX H                                ; HL points to location 2001H ADD M                              ; Add the contents of 2001H with the contents of accumulator INX H                                ; HL points to location 2002H MOV M, A      ...
