assembly language flags

Assembly language flags, also known as status flags or condition codes, are small memory locations or bits within a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that store the results of the most recent arithmetic or logical operation. These flags indicate specific conditions such as carry, zero, sign, and overflow, which are used to control the flow of execution in an assembly language program. They allow the program to make decisions based on the outcome of previous operations, enabling conditional branching and looping.
