Section 9: Program Branching and Controls 91
The following program sums all the bits in the bit pattern in a
given storage register, yielding a checksum. The contents of
storage registers R, through R, are sequentially checksummed. As
the bits are summed, they are added to the updated, double-sized
checksum being held in registers Y and Z. This is what the stack
contains just before line 012:
T
2 Current checksum: most significant word.
Y Current checksum: least significant word.
X Number whose bits will be summed and added to
the current double-word contents in Y and Z.
The resulting checksum will be placed in registers X and Y.
This program uses to decrement a register pointer in the
Index register and to control conditional loop branching.
