Answer / geo
program status word.... a reg in the
microcontroller/microprocessor s showing the current current
status of alu operation
eg: if a carry is generated after an alu operation ,the
corresponding carry flag bit in this reg will set 1.
like if the result is a zero, then the zero flag is set...

PSW is program status word. it contains various flags like
sign, zero, carry, auxillary carry, and parity . these
flags are affected by result of ALU.

Answer / mahim nimbawat
PSW stands for Program Status Word, it is 16-bits hardware
register that maintains the status of program being
executed. It shows the current status of ALU operation.

Answer / dhananjay mishra
In computer ,the program status word is an area of memory or a hardware register which contains information about program stateused by the operating system and the underlying hardware.It will normally include a pointer(address)to the next instruction to be executed.
