10)We studied the flags and they were in two groups (status, control) mention them in separate
groups. Explain the difference between status and control flags.
Status flags are:
Control flags are:
The difference is:

Answer 1

Status Flags become set(1) or reset(0) depending upon condition after either 8-bit or 16-bit operation. This group of flags show status of different properties of operation. For example, sign, zero, parity etc. For example if result of some operation is zero, then the zero flag is set(1) else it is reset(0).

There are a total of 6 Status Flags in 8086 microprocessor:Sign, Zero, Auxilliary Carry, Parity, Carry and Overflow Flag.

Control Flags  enable or disable certain operations of the microprocessor. This means that some operations of microprocessor depends on the value of these flags. For example, if interrupt flag(a type of control flag) is set(1), then the microprocessor will recognize interrupt requests from the peripherals.If it is reset (0), the microprocessor will not recognize any interrupt requests and will ignore them.

There are a total of 3 Control Flags in 8086 microprocessor: Directional, Interrupt and Trap flag.

Difference between status and control flags is that status flag are result of some operation and control flags affect the operations. Status flags depend on operations and operations depend on control flags.
