8085 program to find 2's complement of the contents of Flag Register


In this program we will see how to find 2's complement of the content of flag register.

Problem Statement

Write 8085 Assembly language program to find 2's complement of the content of flag register.

Discussion

We cannot access the total flag register directly. To use them we have to push the PSW(Accumulator-Flag) into stack, and then pop it to another register pair, then after complementing the LS byte of that register pair, we have to push it again into the stack, and then pop it to PSW  to get it into Flag bits.

Input

Here we are not putting any input directly. If the flag bits are (0100 0001), then the program will generate the complement of it.
