Description

The byte at memory address specified by the contents of the HL register pair is compared with the contents of the Accumulator. If there is a true compare, the Z flag is set. The execution of this instruction does not affect the contents of the Accumulator.

Condition Bits Affected

Sis set if result is negative, otherwise it is reset.
Zis set if result is 0, otherwise it is reset.
His set if borrow from bit 4, otherwise it is reset.
P/Vis set if overflow, otherwise it is reset
Nis set.
Cis set if borrow, otherwise it is reset.

Example

If the Accumulator contains $63, register pair HL contains $2323, and memory location $2323 contains byte $60, then upon the execution of

	CP	(HL)

the P/V flag in the F Register is reset.
