Zero flag: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 10:

In most processors, the zero flag is mainly used in conditional [[Branch (computer science)|branch]] instructions, which alter control flow on previous instruction results, but there are often other uses as well.

In some instruction sets such as the [[MIPS architecture]], a dedicated flag register is not used; jump instructions instead check a register for zero.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MIPS instruction set R5 |url=https://training.mips.com/basic_mips/PDF/Instruction_Set.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231215041747/https://training.mips.com/basic_mips/PDF/Instruction_Set.pdf |archive-date=December 15, 2023 |access-date=July 11, 2024}}</ref>
