Program to subtract two 16-bit numbers

Statement: Subtract the 16-bit number stored in memory locations 2002H and 2003H from the 16-bit number stored in memory locations 2000H and 2001H. The most significant bytes of the two numbers are stored in memory locations 2001H and 2003H. Store the result in memory locations 2004H and 2005H. The most significant byte is stored in memory location 2005H.

Example:

(2000H) = 19H
(2001H) = 6AH
(2002H) = 15H
(2003H) = 5CH
Result = 6A19H - 5C15H =0E04H
(2004H) = 04H
(2005H) = 0EH

Program:

LHLD 2000H                   ; Obtain the first 16-bit number in HL register pair
XCHG                              ; Save the first 16-bit number in DE register pair
LHLD 2002H                   ; Obtain the second 16-bit number in HL register pair
MOV A, E                        ; Move the lower byte of the first number into accumulator
SUB L                              ; Subtract the lower byte of second number from the accumulator
MOV L, A                        ; Store the result in L register
MOV A, D                        ; Move the higher byte of the first number into accumulator
SBB H                              ; Subtract the higher byte of second number with the borrow
MOV H, A                        ; Store the result in H register
SHLD 2004H                    ; Store the 16-bit result in location 2004H and 2005H
HLT                                   ; Terminate program execution

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  ...

Stack Operations Instructions (Part-II) - SPHL and XTHL

SPHL: This instruction copies the contents of HL register pair to the stack pointer (SP). It means that the stack pointer will now point to the memory location whose address was given in the HL register pair. No flags are affected. It is a one byte instruction. Register addressing mode is used. Example: If HL = 2030H, then SPHL ; This instruction will copy 2030H into SP. So SP will point to the memory location 2030H. XTHL: This instruction exchanges the contents of the memory location pointed by stack pointer with the contents of the L register and the contents of the next memory location with the contents of H register. This instruction does not alter the contents of the stack pointer. No flags are affected. It is a one byte instruction. Register Indirect addressing mode is used. Example: If HL = 5601H, SP = 2000H, (2000H) = 30H and (2001H) = 20H, then XTHL ; This instruction will exchange the contents of the memory location 2000H i.e. 3...
