In that case, what does it accomplish?arrow_forwardPart 2: Status Flags There are more registers inside of the CPU that we don't have direct access to. One of these is the EFLAGS register. This register holds the values of the flags used in the CPU's operation. Flags are just single bit values that represent the state of the processor - usually 1 means a setting is on or true, and 0 means it is off or false. If a flag has the value 1, we say the flag is set. If it has the value 0, we say it is clear. "Setting" a flag means setting it's value to 1, and "clearing" a flag means setting its value to 0. The status flags are flags that show the outcomes of certain operations. These can be used to check the state of the computations and react accordingly. For example, the carry flag is set if the result of an unsigned addition is too large to fit into the same space as the numbers used during the addition. Look at the following addition operation: 11111111 + 00000001 = 100000000 Note that the result of the addition is 9 bits long, even…arrow_forward
