Clearing bits
AND xx will clear the bits in A that are also clear in xx, for example:
A xx after AND xx %abcdefgh %01010101 %0b0d0f0h
Setting bits
ORA xx will set the bits in A that are also set in xx, for example:
A xx after ORA xx %abcdefgh %01010101 %a1c1e1g1
Toggling bits
EOR xx will toggle the bits in A that are set in xx, for example:
A xx after EOR xx %abcdefgh %01010101 %aBcDeFgH
Clear complementary bits
To clear the bits in A that are set in xx, use both ORA and EOR, for example:
A xx after ORA xx after EOR xx %abcdefgh %01010101 %a1c1e1g1 %a0c0e0g0
Copying bits
You can copy a number of bits to a memory location without changing the other bits using EOR and AND. For example, to copy the top four bits of A into a memory location without changing the bottom four bits, use the following:
A=12345678 dst=abcdefgh EOR dst ******** abcdefgh AND #&F0 ****0000 abcdefgh EOR dst 1234efgh abcdefgh STA dst 1234efgh 1234efgh
This is much more efficient than the usual code:
PHA LDA dst:AND #&0F:STA dst PLA AND #&F0:ORA dst:STA dst
Swapping data
Data can be swapped between two different memory locations without using a temporary location by EORing the data in both directions:
LDA val1:EOR val2:STA val1
EOR val2:STA val2
EOR val1:STA val1
This is in contrast to using a temporary location or register such as with:
LDA val1:STA tmp LDA val2:STA val1 LDA tmp:STA val2
