Program Explanation

  1. This program finds the 2’s complement of a 16-bit number stored in memory locations 3000H-3001H.
  2. There is no direct way to find 2’s complement of the 16-bit number. Therefore, this can be accomplished by finding the 1’s complement of two 8-bit numbers and then incrementing it to get 2’s complement.
  3. Let us assume that the operand stored at memory locations 3000H-3001H is 12H-05H.
  4. The operand is loaded into H-L pair from memory locations 3000H-3001H.
  5. The lower-order is moved from register L to accumulator.
  6. Its complement is found by using CMA instruction.
  7. The result obtained is moved back to register L.
  8. Then, the higher-order is moved from register H to accumulator.
  9. Its complement is found by using CMA instruction.
  10. The result obtained is moved back to register H.
  11. H-L pair is incremented to get 2’s complement.
  12. Now, the final result is in H-L pair.
  13. The result is stored from H-L pair to memory locations 3002H-3003H.
