Guide: Floating Point Exception

To follow this guide, you’ll need to use the floating_point_exception.asm file located in the guides/floating-point-exception/support directory.

The program tries to perform division using an 8 bit operand, bl, in this case the quotient should be in the range [0, 255]. Given that ax is 22891 and bl is 2, the result of the division would be out of the defined range. Thus we will see a Floating point exception after the division.

Note: For a detailed description of the div instruction check out the documentation.
