(discarded) = Sc2 - Sc
    

Description

"16-Bits Source 2" subtracts with "16-Bits Source", result is discarded.

This instruction is used to compare values.

Conditions

Zero: Set when result is 0

Carry: Set when result is < 0

Overflow: Set when result overflow 16-bits signed range (< -32768 OR > 32767)

Sign: Set when bit 15 of the result is 1

Examples

; BA = 0x2EF0
CMP BA, $1337
; BA = 0x2EF0
;      0x1BB9 (0x2EF0 - 0x1337 = 0x(0)1BB9)
; F = (Zero=0):(Carry=0):(Overflow=0):(Sign=0)
    
; HL = 0xBB7E
; BA = 0xCF12
CMP BA, HL
; HL = 0xBB7E
; BA = 0xCF12
;     0xEC6C (0xCF12 - 0xBB7E = 0x(1)EC6C)
; F = (Zero=0):(Carry=1):(Overflow=0):(Sign=1)
