What are the states of the Sign Carry (S) and Parity Flag (P) after executing the following 8085 program?
MVI A, 00H MVI B, 01H SUB B
- A.
S=0andP=0
- B.
S=0andP=1
- C.
S=1andP=0
- D.
S=1andP=1
Attempted by 17 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The program subtracts 01H from 00H, producing FFH. FFH has the sign bit set, so S = 1, and it has eight 1-bits, so parity is even and P = 1.
