Overview and Basic functions ofRegisters
Use of Register:Registers are used to store information
temporarily.

Division of registers:
1. General purpose registers (8):
Operands for logical and arithmetic operations Operands for address calculations Memory pointers
2. Segment registers (6)
3. EFLAGS register4. Instruction pointer register

General purpose Registers
There are four general registers that areAX,BX,CX and DX.
Each Can be used as a whole 16 bit/word orcan be used as two 8 bit registers.
On 8 bit half will known as upper half or AHand other half will known as lower half or AL.

General Purpose Registers and theirfunctions in System
AX (Accumulator) : favored by CPU forarithmetic operations
BX (Base): can hold the address of a procedure or
variable (SI, DI, and BP can also). Can alsoperform arithmetic and data movement. CX (count) : acts as a counter for repeating or
looping instructions. DX (Data) : holds the high 16 bits of the product
in multiply it also handles divide operations.

Segment Registers
It is used as base locations for program instructions, data andthe stack
CS Code Segment holds base location for allexecutable instructions in a program
SS - Base location of the stack DS Data Segment default base location for
variables ES Extra Segment additional base location for
memory variables.

Index Registers
It is used to Speed up processing of strings, arrays,and other data structures containing multipleelements.
SI Source Index Used in string movementinstructions. The source string is pointed to bythe SI register.
DI Destination Index acts as thedestination for string movement instructions

Pointer Registers
It Contains the offset of data(variables, labels) andinstructions from its base segment.
BP ( Base Pointer) :contains an assumed offset fromthe SS register. Often used by a subroutine to locatevariables that were passed on the stack by a callingprogram.
SP (Stack Pointer):Contains the offset of the top ofthe stack.

Status and Control Registers
1. IP (Instruction Pointer): contains the offset ofthe next instruction to be executed.
2. Flags Register :individual bit positions withinregister show status of CPU or results ofarithmetic operations.
Control Flags (Direction, Interrupt, Trap)Status Flags (Carry, Overflow, Sign, Zero,Auxiliary Carry, Parity)

Status Flags Carry (CF) set when the result of an unsigned
arithmetic operation is too large to fit into thedestination.
Overflow (OF) set when the result of a signed arithmetic operation is too wide to fit into thedestination.
Sign (SF) set when the result of an arithmetic orlogical operation generates a negative result.
Zero (ZF) set when the result of an arithmetic orlogical operation is zero.

Status Flags
Auxiliary Carry (AF) set when the result of anoperation causes a carry from bit 3 to bit 4.
Parity (PF) reflects whether the number of 1bits in the result of an operation is even orodd. 1 odd, 0-even.

Control Flags
Interrupt (IF) dictates whether or not systeminterrupts can occur. 1 enabled, 0 disabled.
Trap (TF) determines whether or not the CPUis halted after each instruction. Allowsprogrammers to do tracing.
Direction (DF) affects block data transferinstructions such as MOVS, CMPS. 0 up, 1 down.
