8 Advanced Arithmetic

This chapter covers extended-precision arithmetic, arithmetic on operands whose sizes are different, and decimal arithmetic. By the conclusion of this chapter, you will know how to apply arithmetic and logical operations to integer operands of any size, including those larger than 64 bits, and how to convert operands of different sizes into a compatible format. Finally, you’ll learn to perform decimal arithmetic by using the x86-64 BCD instructions on the x87 FPU, which lets you use decimal arithmetic in those few applications that absolutely require base-10 operations.
