Re: Flag Question
Flags are just a collection of bits that tell you different things about the current state of the processor. For example, if you do a byte addition and the result is greater than 255, then the carry flag will be set. The zero flag is also popular, to signify that the result of a computation is zero. The sign flag tells you if a number is interpreted as signed or unsigned. Most CPU's have atleast those three.
