🠶 For assembly language programs to carry out useful


tasks, there must be a way to make decisions and
repeat sections of code.
🠶 Jump Instructions can help in this regard.
🠶 The jump and loop instructions transfer control to
another part of the program.
🠶 To control the general flow of the instructions,
jump instructions are used.

5 Unconditional Jump
🠶 The JMP instruction causes an unconditional transfer of control.
🠶 As the name suggests, no condition is needed to jump to the
mentioned
destination label.
🠶 JMP
Syntax: destination_label
🠶 Here, the destination is usually a label in the same segment as the JMP
itself.
🠶 Example:
MOV AX, 5
MOV BX, 3
JMP L1
MOV BX,
1
L1: MOV
BX, 4
6 Conditional
Jumps
🠶 The syntax of conditional jump is:

Jxxx destination_label
🠶 If the condition for the jump is true, the next instruction to be
executed is the one at destination_label, which may precede or follow
the jump instructions itself.
🠶 If the condition is false, the instruction immediately following the jump
is done next.
🠶 Range of a Conditional Jump:
🠶 The structure of the machine code of a conditional jump requires that
destination_label must precede the jump instruction by no more that 126
bytes, or follow it by no more than 127 bytes.
7 Conditional Jump Example
Instruction ; general instruction
1 ; general instruction
Instruction ; general instruction
2
; general instructions
Instruction continues
3
CMP AX, BX ; general instructions
……………. continues
Jxxx L1
……………. ; Compare instruction
Instruction 7
; Conditional Jump
Instruction 8
If the condition If condition is true, it
is false, it will L1: MOV AX,
0 will
jump to the jump to “L1: MOV Ax,
next line. ……………
0”
……………
……………..
8 How CPU implements
a Conditional Jump
🠶 To implement a conditional jump, the CPU looks at the Flag registers.
🠶 You already know that flag register reflects the result of the last thing
the processor did. (In chapter 5)

🠶 If the conditions for the jump (expressed as a combination of status flag


settings) are true; the CPU adjusts the IP to point to the destination label,
so that the instruction at this label will be done next.
🠶 If the jump condition is false, then IP is not altered; this means the
next instruction in line will be done.
9 Types of Conditional
Jumps
🠶There are three category:
🠶Signed Jumps:
🠶 Us ed when a signed interpretation is being given to
results
🠶Unsigned Jumps:
🠶 Us ed for an unsigned interpretation
🠶Single-Flag Jumps:
🠶Operates on settings of individual flags.

Note: Jump instructions does not effects on


flags.
