ALG program notes: We'll key the income into the display before running the
program. We'll store it in R
chapter. By keying the income into the display before running the program, we
ensure that it will be in the X-register when the :0 instruction in program line
002 is executed. This instruction will place the test value 20,000 in the X-register
and move the income into the Y-register. The ~ instruction in program line 003
will exchange the numbers in the X- and Y-registers: that is, it will place the income
back into the X-register and place the test value into the Y-register. This is
necessary because when either the :2 instruction in line 007 or the :1
instruction in line 009 is executed, the number in the X-register is moved into the
Y-register; if the ~ instruction were not included, the test value 20,000, rather
than the income, would be in the Y-register when the b instruction in line 010 is
executed.
