  1. Doesn’t work in the case of smaller number – larger number:

    ; 32 bit subtraction
    ; _______________

    assume cs:code, ds:data

    data segment
    opr1 dd 0ffffffffh
    opr2 dd 00000001h
    res dd 00000000h
    car db 00h
    data ends

    code segment
    org 0100h

    start: mov ax, data
    mov ds, ax
    mov ch, 00h
    mov ax, word ptr opr1
    mov bx, word ptr opr2
    sub ax, bx
    jnc here1
    neg ax

    here1: mov word ptr res, ax
    mov ax, word ptr opr1 + 2
    mov bx, word ptr opr2 + 2
    sbb ax, bx
    jnc here2
    neg ax
    inc ch

    here2: mov word ptr res+2, ax
    mov byte ptr res+4, ch
    mov ah, 4ch
    int 21h

    code ends

    end start
