The document discusses 7 basic CPU instructions - MOV, XCHG, ADD, SUB, INC, DEC, NEG - for transferring data and doing arithmetic. It provides the syntax and examples of using each instruction to move data between registers and memory locations, exchange register contents, add and subtract values, increment and decrement, and negate values. It also shows examples of translating statements into assembly language code using these instructions to calculate a series summation.

5. There are over a hundred instructions in
the instruction set for the 8086 CPU.
Here we discuss 7 of the most useful
instructions for transferring data and
doing arithmetic.
The discussed instructions are……..
MOV,XCHG,ADD,SUB,INC,DEC,NEG.

IntroductionIntroduction

6. MOVMOV
 Transfer data
◦ Between registers
◦ Between register and a memory location
◦ Move a no. directly to a register or a
memory location
 Syntax
MOV destination, source
 Example
MOV AX, WORD1

7. XCHG
 Exchange the contents of
◦ Two registers
◦ Register and a memory location
 Syntax
XCHG destination, source
 Example
XCHG AH, BL

9. ADD InstructionADD Instruction
To add contents of:
◦ Two registers
◦ A register and a memory location
◦ A number to a register
◦ A number to a memory location
Example
ADD WORD1, AX

10. SUB InstructionSUB Instruction
To subtract the contents of:
◦ Two registers
◦ A register and a memory location
◦ A number from a register
◦ A number from a memory location
 Example
SUB AX, DX

12. INC & DECINC & DEC
 INC (increment) instruction is used to add 1 to
the contents of a register or memory location.
◦ Syntax: INC destination
◦ Example: INC WORD1
 DEC (decrement) instruction is used to subtract 1
from the contents of a register or memory
location.
◦ Syntax: DEC destination
◦ Example: DEC BYTE1
12
Destination can be 8-bit or 16-bits wide.
Destination can be a register or a memory
location.

14. NEGNEG
 Used to negate the contents of destination.
 Replace the contents by its 2’s complement.
 Syntax:
NEG destination
 Example:
NEG BX
14How?

15. ExamplesExamples
 Consider instructions: MOV, ADD, SUB,
INC, DEC, NEG
 A and B are two word variables
 Translate statements into assembly language:
15
Statement Translation
A =-( A+1)
MOV AX,A
INC AX
NEG AX
MOV A,AX
B= 3B-7
MOV AX,B
ADD AX,B
ADD AX,B
SUB AX,7
MOV B,AX
Example:1
Example:2
Statem
ent
Translation
A = B –
A-1
MOV AX,B
SUB AX,A
DEC AX
MOV A,AX
