8086 program to Subtract two 8 bit numbers



ØØ       Explanation :
·            Consider that a byte of data is present in the AL register and second byte of data is present in the BL register.
·            We have to subtract the byte in BL from the byte in AL. Using sub instruction subtract the contents of two registers. Result will be stored in the AL register.




·            Display the result using display routine.
For example :
AL = 0A H

0A H
(10)10

BL = 04 H
04 H
(4)10



06H

ØØ       Algorithm :
Step 1      :    Initialise the data segment.
Step 2      :    Get the first number in AL register.
Step 3      :    Get the second number in BL register.
Step 4      :    Subtract the two numbers.                                                          Corel – 2               
Step 5      :    Display the result.    
Step 6      :    Stop
ØØ       Flowchart : Refer flowchart 9.

       mov     cl, 04h ; Count to roll by 4 bits
       mov     bh, al            ; Result in reg bh
l2:    rol       bh, cl            ; roll bl so that msb comes to lsb
       mov     dl, bh           ; load dl with data to be displayed
       and      dl, 0fH ; get only lsb
       cmp     dl, 09           ; check if digit is 0-9 or letter A-F
       jbe       l4
       add      dl, 07           ; if letter add 37H else only add 30H
l4:    add      dl, 30H
