11.3.1.1Data Transfer Instructions

Data transfer instructions move operands between elements of the 80C187 register stack or be- tween stack top and memory. Instructions can convert any data type to temporary real and load it onto the stack in a single operation. Conversely, instructions can convert a temporary real oper- and on the stack to any data type and store it to memory in a single operation. Table 11-1 sum- marizes the data transfer instructions.

11.3.1.2Arithmetic Instructions

The 80C187’s arithmetic instruction set includes many variations of add, subtract, multiply, and divide operations and several other useful functions. Examples include a simple absolute value and a square root instruction that executes faster than ordinary division. Other arithmetic instruc- tions perform exact modulo division, round real numbers to integers and scale values by powers of two.

Table 11-2 summarizes the available operation and operand forms for basic arithmetic. In addi- tion to the four normal operations, “reversed” instructions make subtraction and division “sym- metrical” like addition and multiplication. In summary, the arithmetic instructions are highly flexible for these reasons:
