They transfer the process flow, provisionally or totally, to a destiny, replicating this action until the counter is zero.
LOOP
LOOPE
LOOPNE
LOOP INSTRUCTION
reason: To produce a cycle in the program.
Syntax:
LOOP label
The loop instruction reduces CX on 1, and transfers the flow of the program to the label specified as operator if CX is different than 1.
LOOPE INSTRUCTION
reason: To produce a cycle in the program considering the position of ZF.
Syntax:
LOOPE label
This instruction reduces CX by 1. If CX is different to zero and ZF is equal to 1, then the flow of the program is transferred to the label pointed to as operator.
LOOPNE INSTRUCTION
reason: To produce a cycle in the program, considering the state of ZF.
Syntax:
LOOPNE label
This instruction reduces one from CX and transfers the flow of the program only if ZF is different to 0.
