Conditional Instructions
Another way to alter the sequence of program execution is by a conditional test, a
true/false test that compares two numbers and skips the next program instruction if
the proposition is false.
For instance, if a conditional instruction on line A0005 is

(that is, is x equal
to zero
?
), then the program compares the contents of the X–register with zero. If
the X–register
does contain zero, then the program goes on to the next line. If the
X–register does
not contain zero, then the program skips the next line, thereby
branching to line A0007. This rule is commonly known as "Do if true."

The above example points out a common technique used with conditional tests: the
line immediately after the test (which is only executed in the "true" case) is a
branch to another label. So the net effect of the test is to branch to a different
routine under certain circumstances.
There are three categories of conditional instructions:
Comparison tests. These compare the X–and Y–registers, or the X–register
and zero.
