Conditionals

4.12 Conditionals

The condition bits in the status register (STAT) are used to modify program control through conditional branches and calls. Various combinations of bits are available to provide a rich set of conditional operations. These condition bits can also be used in Boolean operations to set the test flags TF1 and TF2 in the status register.
