680x0:Simple calculations
Revision as of 23:38, 24 March 2008 by Spellcoder (talk | contribs) (changes so syntax highlighting is used)
Simple calculations:
move.l #5,d0 ; d0 = $00000005
add.l #1,d0 ; d0 = d0 + 1 (d0 is now $00000006)
sub.l #2,d0 ; d0 = d0 - 2 (d0 is now $00000004)
rts
Harder calculations:
move.l #5,d0 ; d0 = $00000005
mulu.w #4,d0 ; d0 = d0 * 4
rts
The standard mulu (MULtiply Unsigned) only works with words
so can only handle numbers up to 65535. There is an command
for 68020+ processors and there are routines to multiply
using longwords but whe'll ignore them for now ;)
divu uses the lower word for the quotient (the result) and the upper word for the remainder.
mulu doesn't use the upper word.
