Question

Which flag is set when an unsigned value is too large to fit into a destination operand?

Answer 1

Answer:

CarryFlag (CF)

Explanation:

When programming in Assembly language, two categories of flags are noted these are;

1. Control flag
2. Status flag

Control flags indicate how instructions are executed examples are interrupt, direction and trap flags. While Status flags indicate or reports the result of an operation.

The CarryFlag (CF) belongs to the status category and it has the value 1 = carry and 0 = no carry. This flag is set when the result from an arithmetic operation returns an unsigned value that is too large for its destination.
