Two of the bits in the FLAGS register that add and sub instructions set are overflow and carry flag:
Overflow flag:
? Set for signed arithmetic when the ture result is too big to fit into the destination.
Carry flag:
? If there is a carry in the MSB of an addition or a borrow in the MSB of a subtraction, the carry flag is set. Thus, it can be used to detect overflow for unsigned arithmetic.
