If...Then

compares two 16-bit numbers by subtraction and reports one of the three possible cases: n1 < n2; n1 > n2; and n1 = n2.

PBASIC's If...Then statement allows you to compare two numbers up to 16 bits in length and make a decision (jump to a program address) based on the outcome of the comparison. Parallax assembly language offers the same capability through its compare-and-jump instructions (cja, cjae, cjb, cjbe...), but these are limited to 8-bit values.

The subroutine Comp16 compares 16-bit numbers and reports the results through the w register as follows:
 
 

        0       n1 = n2
        1       n1 > n2
        2       n1 < n2

Since it performs its comparisons through w, it does not alter n1 or n2.

To use Comp16 as a replacement for PBASIC's If...Then, use either a compare-and-jump instruction or Branch to process the result returned in w. See Branch for a method of handling compound logic expressions.

Demonstrating Comp16.

To see Comp16 in operation, either run the program with the PSIM simulator, or connect the circuit below to an erasable PIC or PIC emulator, such as the Parallax downloader. Assemble and run COMP16.SRC. When you apply power to the PIC, the LEDs will light up in the binary pattern returned by the comparison (in this case 01, where 1 represents a lit LED). Try various combinations of n1 and n2 to see the three codes.
