Boolean Instructions
Boolean Operators
 Boolean Operators
 AND  Affects the status register
 OR  Affects the status register
 XOR  Affects the status register
 NOT  Will have no effects on the status register
Boolean Instructions
 The AND Instruction
 The AND instruction performs a boolean AND operation using
two 8-bits or 16-bits operand and places the result in the
destination operand.
 Syntax:
 AND destination, source
 The operands must be of the same size and only one
of them may be a memory operand.
 AND ; if 1 is ANDed with 1 = 1
; if zero ANDed with another zero or a 1 = 0
Boolean Instructions
 The AND Instruction
 Example:
MOV BL, 3A
MOV CL, A3
AND BL, CL
Thus;
BL: 0011 1010
CL: 1010 0011
BL: 0010 0010  22h
Boolean Instructions
 The OR Instruction
 The OR instruction performs a boolean OR operation using
the source and destination operands and places the result
in destination.
 Syntax:
 OR destination, source
 The operands must be of the same size, and only
one of them may be a memory operand.
 OR ; when a 1 is ORed with another 1 or zero = 1
; when a zero is ORed with a zero = 0
Boolean Instructions
 The OR Instruction
 Example:
MOV BL, 3A
MOV CL, A3
OR BL, CL
Thus:
BL: 0011 1010
CL: 1010 0011
BL: 1011 1011  BBh
Boolean Instructions
 The XOR Instruction
 The XOR (exclusive OR) instruction performs a boolean
XOR operation using the source and destination operands
and places the result in destination.
 Syntax:
 XOR destination, source
 Only one operand may be a memory operand.
 XOR ; when both are of a different bit = 1
; when both are of the same bit = 0
Boolean Instructions
 The XOR Instruction
 Example:
MOV BL, 3A
MOV CL, A3
XOR BL, CL
Thus;
BL: 0011 1010
CL: 1010 0011
BL: 1001 1 001  99h
Boolean Instructions
 The NOT Instruction
 The NOT instruction reverses all bits in an
operand, changing ones to zeros and vice versa.
 The result is called the 1’s complement.
 Syntax:
 NOT source
 The source can only be either register or
memory operand.
Boolean Instructions
 The NOT Instruction
 Example:
MOV BL, 3A
NOT BL
Thus;
BL: 0011 1010
BL: 1100 0101  C5h
Boolean Instructions
 The NOT Instruction
 The NOT instruction can be used to create two’s complement
of a number by using it with the INC instruction.
 Example:
MOV AL, 01
NOT AL
INC AL
Thus;
AL: 0000 0001
AL:1111 1110
AL: 1111 1111  FFh
Boolean Instructions
 The NEG Instruction
 The NEG instruction negates or finds the two’s
complement of a byte or word. It takes a single
(destination) operand and negates it.
 Syntax:
NEG destination
 The destination can either be register or
memory.
 This instruction effectively reverses the sign
of the destination operand.
Boolean Instructions
 The NEG Instruction can’t take an immediate
value/ data as destination.
 This instruction effectively reverses the sign of
the destination operand. If positive
negative,
negative positive
Example:
MOV ah, 04 ; AH= 04
NEG ah ; AH= FC
