    The document discusses the different flags in a CPU's flag register, including the carry flag, parity flag, auxiliary flag, zero flag, sign flag, trap flag, interrupt flag, and overflow flag. These flags represent the current status of the CPU and are used to control CPU operations like traps, interrupts, and direction. They also provide status information that is checked for conditions like carry, parity, sign, and overflow to help control the flow of programs.

    Flag register

    Represents the current status of


    CPU
    Carry flag
    parity flag
    auxiliary flag
    zero flag
    sign flag
    trap flag interrupt and overflow flag
    Why we study flags
    when we perform conditions means (if _else etc)
    flag are the back end for this purpose
    Control CPU operations
    trap, direction and interrupt etc
    control the status of operations
    Useful bits are 9 in a flag
    carry flag save last carry
    parity flag check validity of data
    that is traveled
    auxiliary flag handle every third carry
    Sign flag handle sign in expression
    trap flag trap error in program
    interrupt flag handle interrupt
    direction flag handle the direction of string
    overflow flag handle the size of register
