To detect negative numbers why do programming use BCC (check carry bit ) instead of BNE ( check N bit , which is obviously more straightforward ) ?
ReqDePache said:i thought that , BNE == branch negative
What made you think that?
I guess that's because I was familiar with SIC Assembly a period of time and they used N for negative .
That's the thing with assemblers: there is no standard - they are all different!
You must always go to the specific documentation for the particular assembler.
