How to ADD two 16 Bit Number

2012-01-15T22:17:00.000+05:30

Suppose we have to add two HEX numbers viz:

4351 & 3211.

First take the LSB of two number and ADD them. Then take the MSB of thw numbers and add them with CARRY.

CODE:

MVI A,51H

MVI B,11H

ADD B

STA 5000H

MVI A,43H

MVI B,32H

ADC B

STA 5002H

HLT

When this program will be executed then LSB will be saved at location 5000H and MSB will be saved at 5002H location

To find factorial of a number.

To find factorial of a number we can use the same procedure as in C++ programming.

CODE:

MVI B,05
MOV C, B
DCR C
LABEL2: MOV E, C
SUB A
LABEL1: ADD B
DCR E
JNZ LABEL1
MOV B, A
DCR C
JNZ LABEL2
STA 00H
HLT

To multiply two numbers.

2011-10-15T00:25:00.000+05:30

To multiply two numbers we can use multiple addition of that number up to the second number.

CODE:

MVI D,3
MVI B,2
MVI A,00
LABEL: ADD D
DCR B
JNZ LABEL
HLT

How to add two numbers without using ADD command?

2011-10-14T02:33:00.002+05:30

To add two numbers without using ADD command first we need to understand the basics of addition. The basic of addition is that we increment the first number by 1 upto second number to reach the answer of their additon. The same procedure will be followed here in this program

CODE
MVI A,08
MVI B,54
LABEL: INR A
DCR B
JNZ LABEL
HLT

Screen shot of the program ran in simulator is here:

How to count number of 1's in a byte?

2011-10-10T01:10:00.001+05:30

To count the number of 1's in a byte[8 bits] the technique is as follows:-
We use RAR instruction to rotate the D0 bit via CARRY flag and check the status of carry flag for 1. And we count the number of times the CARRY flag is set[ie equal to 1].

Code-
MVI A,FFH ; Load A with Immediate data as FF
MVI B,08 ; Initialize B with 08 for counting
LABEL2: RAR ; Rotate Right through CARRY
JC LABEL1 ; Check for CARRY flag
DCR B ; Decrement counter
JNZ LABEL2 ; Check for number of counting
LABEL1: INR C ; Increment C for number of 1's
DCR B ;
JNZ LABEL2 ;

Table of 2

2011-10-03T18:15:00.001+05:30

In this program the starting address is taken as 2001H.
The table of 2 {2,4,6,8,.......,20} would be saved in memory location starting from 2001H location.
CODE:

LXI H,2001H ; Make H/L pair as pointer to location 2001H
MVI A,00H ;
MVI B,10 ; Taking Register B as a counter for table
LABEL: ADI 02 ; Add 02 as immediate value toRregister A
MOV M,A ; Save value of Register A to memory location pointed by H
INX H ; Increment the address pointed by Register H
DCR B ; Decrement the B
JNZ LABEL ; Check for ZERO and Jump to LABEL

How to exchange the content of two memory location.

2011-09-25T07:39:00.002+05:30

1. Using XCHG operation

Instruction Comment

LXI H, D000 H ; HL pointing to D000 H

LXI D, D001 H ; DE pointing to D001 H

MOV B, M ; B (HL) (first byte)

LDAX D ; Load second byte in ACC.

XCHG ; Exchange DE and HL pair contents.

MOV M, B ; Store first byte in second location

STAX D ; Store second byte in first location.

HLT ; Stop

Foot note:

The XCHG memonic can only be used for exchanging contents of DE and HL pair. So for exchanging the contents of any two memory location its better to make DE and HL as memory pointer.

2. Without using XCHG operation.

Instruction Comment

LXI H,D000H ; HL pointing to D000H

LXI B,D001H ; BC pointing to D001H

MOV D,M ; Move the contents of M to D

LDAX B ; Move the contents of BC to Accumulator

MOV M,A ; Move the contents of BC to HL

STAX D ; Move the contents of HL to BC

HLT ; Stop
