X86 INSTRUCTIONS:::CONTROL FLOW::: JUMP INSTRUCTIONS:::LOOP INSTRUCTION

Syntax : loop arg The loop instruction decrements ECX and jumps to the address specified by arg unless decrementing ECX caused its value to become zero. Example mov ecx, 5 start_loop: ; the code here would be executed 5 times loop start_loop loop does not set any flags. Syntax : loopx arg These loop instructions decrement ECX and jump to the address specified by arg if their condition is satisfied (that is, a specific flag is set), unless decrementing ECX caused its value to become zero. loope loop if equal loopne loop if not equal loopnz loop if not zero loopz loop if zero
