In the first example, C is originally zeroed, presumably from the result of a pre-
vious subtract instruction that performed a borrow. The effective operation per-
formed was 6 – 6 – (0–) = –1, generating another borrow (resetting carry) in
the process. In the second example, no borrow was previously generated (C
= 1), and the result from the subtract instruction does not generate a borrow.
