Question

For pushing of flags and popping of flags in 8086, the instructions are :

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 3 Electronic Science Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

Push F and Pop F

To solve this question, we need to understand the instructions related to the operations of the stack in the 8086 microprocessor with respect to the flag register. Let's explore the instructions available for pushing and popping flags in the 8086 microprocessor.

  1. Push F: This instruction is used to push the flag register onto the stack. The flag register contains the status flags that are useful for decision-making in a program, and this instruction saves the current CPU state.
  2. Pop F: This instruction pops the top of the stack into the flag register. It restores the flags to the state they were in when the flags were most recently pushed onto the stack.

The use of Push F and Pop F instructions allows the programmer to save and restore the state of the flags conveniently. This is particularly useful in scenarios such as interrupt handling, subroutines, and when preserving the state over certain operations.

Now, let's evaluate the options provided:

  • Option 1: Push and Pop - These are general stack operations but do not specifically relate to the flags.
  • Option 2: Push F and Pop F - These specifically allow the pushing and popping of the flag register, hence are the correct instructions for this operation.
  • Option 3: Push and Pop F - A combination that does not accurately reflect the correct pair for handling flags.
  • Option 4: None of the above - This is incorrect given that option 2 is the right answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is Push F and Pop F, as these instructions specifically handle the pushing and popping of the flag register in the 8086 microprocessor.
