Effects

No flags are altered except in the cases of the I or R registers.

In those cases, C is preserved, H and N are reset, and alters Z and S. P/V is set if interrupts are enabled, reset otherwise.

Uses

Use to load numbers into operands. They can either be numbers used in the code (usually 8-bits), or labels (usually 16-bits).


   ld b,$05	;Counter
   
   ld hl,var	;Variable label
   ld a,(var)	;Write data to var
