| Instruction | Operands | Description | 
| AAA | No operands | ASCII Adjust after Addition. Corrects result in AH and AL after addition
when working with BCD values.
 
 It works according to the following Algorithm:
 
 if low nibble of AL > 9 or AF = 1 then:
 
 
 
elseAL = AL + 6AH = AH + 1AF = 1CF = 1 in both cases:
 clear the high nibble of AL.
 
 Example:
 
 MOV AX, 15   ; AH = 00, AL = 0Fh
AAA          ; AH = 01, AL = 05
RET | 
| AAD | No operands | ASCII Adjust before Division. Prepares two BCD values for division.
 
 Algorithm:
 
 
 
 
AL = (AH * 10) + ALAH = 0 Example:
 
 MOV AX, 0105h   ; AH = 01, AL = 05
AAD             ; AH = 00, AL = 0Fh (15)
RET | 
| AAM | No operands | ASCII Adjust after Multiplication. Corrects the result of multiplication of two BCD values.
 
 Algorithm:

AAM          ; AH = 01, AL = 05
RET | 
| AAS | No operands | ASCII Adjust after Subtraction. Corrects result in AH and AL after subtraction
when working with BCD values.
 
 Algorithm:

 Example:
