Add two 16-bit numbers in 8085

In this program, we are going to write an assembly language program to add two 16-bit numbers in 8085 microprocessor with a program flow chart and explanation of the program.

Add two 16-bit numbers in 8085

Program Statement

Write a program to add the 16-bit number in memory locations D000H and D001H with the 16-bit number in memory locations D002H and D003H. The most significant 8 bits of the two numbers to be added are in memory locations D001H and D003H. Store the result in memory locations D004H and D005H with the most significant byte in memory location D005H

Explanation of Program

  • We have two 16-bit numbers. Let the two numbers be 1234H and 4321H.
  • We have to add the word at memory locations D000H and D001H with the word at memory locations D002H and D003H.
  • For computing the addition there are two methods.
  • In the first method, we will add the two LSBs and the two MSBs separately and store the result.
  • In the second method, we will store the two numbers in the register pairs DE and HL. Then using the DAD instruction we will add the two 16-bit numbers. The result of the addition will be stored in the HL register pair.
    • D000H = 34H, D001H = 12H, D002H = 21H, D003H = 43H
    • Result = 1234 H + 4321 H = 5555 H
    • D004H = 55H and D005H = 55H

Method 1

  • In the first method, we will add the two LSBs and the two MSBs separately and store the result.

InstructionCommentOperation
LHLD D000HLoad the first 16-bit numbers in the HL register pair. H = 12H, L = 34H
XCHGsave the 16-bit number in the DE register pair.D = 12H, E = 34H
LHLD D002HLoad the second 16-bit numbers in the HL register pair. H = 43H, L = 21H
MOV A, ELoad the lower byte of the first number in the accumulatorA = 34H
ADD LAdd the two lower bytesA = A + L = 34 + 21
A = 55H
MOV L, AStore the result in the L registerL = 55H
MOV A, DLoad the higher byte of the first number in the accumulatorA = 12H
ADC HAdd the two higher bytes along with the carry of the lower byte addition.A= A + H + CY
A = 12 + 43 + 0
A = 55H
MOV H, AStore the result in the H registerH = 55H
SHLD D004HStore the 16-bit result in memory locations D004H and D005H.D004H = 55H
D005H = 55H

Method 2

  • In the second method, we will store the two numbers in the register pairs DE and HL. Then using the DAD instruction we will add the two 16-bit numbers. The result of the addition will be stored in the HL register pair.
