To perform BCD arithmetic, MCS-51 off ers DA A instruction. Execution of this instruction needs some
prerequisites. To start with, DA A may only be used immediately after executing either ADD or ADDC
instruction of any addressing mode. DA A would be of no use even after a SUBB instruction. Loading any
number in the accumulator and then executing DA A instruction would not change the accumulator contents
to its BCD equivalent (refer to Fig. 12.13).

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
