More about the status register and its relevance for programming

So far our status register can only indicate unsigned and signed overflow. In this section two more status flags will be added: a zero flag (ZF) and a sign flag (SF).

The implementation of these new flags is simple and quickly explained (here is a link to my ALU with the attached status register). The video is mainly about why we need all these status flags for programming a computer.
