3.1. COMPARISON AND CONDITIONS
Conditional jump was introduced in the last chapter to loop for theaddition of a fixed number of array elements. The jump was based on the
zero flag. There are many other conditions possible in a program. For
example an operand can be greater than another operand or it can be
smaller. We use comparisons and boolean expressions extensively in higher
level languages. They must be available is some form in assembly language,
otherwise they could not possibly be made available in a higher level
language. In fact they are available in a very fine and purified form.
