CPI

CPI

Compare and Increment

Description

Performs cp a,(hl), then increments HL and decrements BC.

cp a,(hl)
inc hl
dec bc

Uses

• This instruction is not very useful on its own, as cp a,(hl) is both smaller and faster than a single CPI, but more often used is the repeating version of CPI: CPIR

Results

S flag	Set if result is negative; else reset
Z flag	Set if A = (HL); else reset
H flag	Set if borrow from bit 4; else reset
P/V flag	Set if BC ≠ 0 after the operation; else reset
N flag	Set
C flag	Not affected

Allowed Instructions

Instruction	Opcode	CC (ADL/non-ADL)	CC (.S)	CC (.L)

Notes

• Although this instruction increments HL, it decrements BC.
