The difference between PUSH and POP instruction is described below: PUSH Instruction: Push is used to store register pair data into stack. Syntax: PUSH Register_Pair The content of register pair designated in the operand are copied onto the stack in the following sequence. The stack pointer register is decremented and the content of the high order register (B, D, H, A) are copied into that location. The stack pointer register is decremented again and the content of lower-order register (C, E, L, flags) are copied to that location. Example: PUSH B Suppose B contains 34 and C contains 56 and Top of the Stack (i.e. SP) = 2000 The PUSH B instruction makes the following changes in memory as shown and top of stack is decremented by 2. i.e. Top Of Stack = SP – 2 = 2000 – 2 = 1998 POP Instruction: POP is used to extract data off stack and to store in register pair. Syntax POP Register_Pair The contents of the memory location pointed out by the stack pointer register are copied to the low-order register (C, E, L, status flags) of the operand. The stack pointer is incremented by 1 and the contents of that memory location are copied to the high-order register (B, D, H, A) of the operand. The stack pointer register is again incremented by 1. Example: POP B Suppose B contains 00 and C contains 00 and Stack pointer=1998 The POP B instruction makes the following changes in Register as shown and top of stack is incremented by 2. I.e. new top of stack = SP + 2 = 1998 + 2 = 2000
