How many flags are available in an 8086 microprocessor? How the parity flag (PF) is used by 8086 microprocessor?

  1. CY :- Carry Flag
  2. P  :- Parity Flag
  3. AC  :- Auxiliary Flag
  4. Z  :-  Zero  Flag
  5. S  :-  Sign Flag
  6. O  :- Overflow Flag
  7. I  :-  Interrupt  Flag
  8. T  :- Trap Flag
  9. D  :- Directional Flag

Parity Flag(PF) : parity flag is set when result has even no. of 1’s and it is reset when result has odd no. of 1’s.
