Two signed numbers A and B represented in signed-2's complement form are compared by subtracting A - B. Status bits S, Z, and V are set or cleared depending on the result of the operation. (Note that there is a sign reversal if an overflow occurs.) Show that the relative magnitude of A and B can be determined from inspection of the status bits as specified below. (See also Table 8-11.)
