    The document describes the AAA and DAA instructions in x86 assembly. AAA is used after addition to adjust the result to valid Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format by clearing the higher nibble if needed. DAA is similar but changes the content of the AL register to a valid packed decimal after an addition. Both instructions affect the Auxiliary and Carry flags depending on whether the result is greater than 9 or 99. AAA also affects the zero and parity flags while DAA does not affect the overflow flag. Examples are provided to demonstrate the instructions.

    INSTRUCTION SET

    - AAA AND DAA

    BY

    AAA- ASCII ADJUST AFTER ADDITION

     Is used after addition to adjust the value of the


    result to BCD.
     The AAA instruction adjusts the contents of the
    AL register to contain the correct 1-digit
    unpacked BCD result.
     In this case the higher nibble of AL is cleared
     Syntax
    AAA : AL ← (AL corrected for ASCII addition)

     FLAGS Affected
    AF (Auxiliary Flag)
    CF (Carry Flag)
     The logic used behind the AAA instruction

    If
    low nibble of AL > 9 or AF=1
    AL = AL + 6
    AH = AH + 1
    AF = 1
    CF =1
    Else
    AF= 0
    CF=0
    EXAMPLE OF AAA INST.

    1. MOV AX, 15 ; AH = 00, AL = 0Fh


    AAA ; AH = 01, AL = 05
    RET
    DAA- DECIMAL ADJUST
    AFTER ADDITION
     Changes the content of AL to valid packed
    decimal digits.

     The daa instruction is used to adjust the content


    of the AL register after that register is used to
    perform the addition of two packed BCDs.
    SYNTAX

     DAA : AL←(AL corrected for BCD addition)

    The logic for this instruction is


     If
    ( lower nibble of AL > 9 or Af=1)
    AL ← AL + 6; AF ← 1
    If(upper nibble of AL>9 or CF=1)
    AL←AL + 60H; CF ← CF+ 1
    FLAG STATUS
     The flags affected are AF (Auxiliary), PF
    (parity), CF(carry) & ZF(zero)

     The flag not-defined is OF


    EXAMPLE 1
    mov al,38h ;packed decimal "38“
    add al,45h ;add packed decimal "45“
    daa ; AL = 7Dh -> 83h (with CF clear = 83 packed
    decimal)
     
    AL CF AF
    ; after addition 7Dh clear clear
    ; daa 83h clear set (because al AND 0Fh > 9)
    ; daa 83h clear set (al !> 99h && CF clear)
    EXAMPLE 2
    mov al,88h ;packed decimal "88“
    add al,74h ;add packed decimal "74“
    daa ;AL = 0FCh -> 62h (with CF set = 162 packed
    decimal)
     
    AL CF AF
    ; after addition 0FCh clear clear
    ; daa (al+6) 02h set set (because al AND
    0Fh > 9)
    ; daa (al+60h) 62h set set (because CF set)
