ALG program notes: We’ll key the income into the display before running the program. We’ll store it in R9 so it will be available for the examples in the next chapter. By keying the income into the display before running the program, we ensure that it will be in the X-register when the :0 instruction in program line 002 is executed. This instruction will place the test value 20,000 in the X-register and move the income into the Y-register. The ~ instruction in program line 003 will exchange the numbers in the X- and Y-registers: that is, it will place the income back into the X-register and place the test value into the Y-register. This is necessary because when either the :2 instruction in line 007 or the :1 instruction in line 009 is executed, the number in the X-register is moved into the Y-register; if the ~instruction were not included, the test value 20,000, rather than the income, would be in the Y-register when the b instruction in line 010 is executed.
