In this blog post, we’ll explore an 8086 assembly language program that adds two 16-bit numbers while also checking for a carry flag.
; Data Segment
data segment
a dw 0FFFFh ; Example value that will cause a carry
b dw 0001h ; Example value
c dw ? ; To store result
carry_flag db 0 ; To store carry (0 or 1)
data ends
; Code Segment
code segment
assume cs:code, ds:data
start:
mov ax, data
mov ds, ax ; Initialize data segment
mov ax, a ; Load first number
mov bx, b ; Load second number
add ax, bx ; Perform addition
mov c, ax ; Store result in 'c'
jc carry_occurred ; Jump if carry flag is set
mov carry_flag, 0 ; No carry, store 0
jmp end_program
carry_occurred:
mov carry_flag, 1 ; Store carry flag as 1
end_program:
int 3 ; Halt program
code ends
end start
