Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have A = 1AH and B = 2BH. Write a program snippet that adds B to A and checks if the result is greater than 0FFH using flags.

💡 Hint: What will indicate an overflow here?

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider the operations performed between Accumulator and a memory value. If you fetch the value from memory location 2003H and subtract it from A, explain how you would handle a negative result if the Sign flag is set.

💡 Hint: What does the Sign Flag indicate about your result?
