JA Jump If Above Flags: not altered
JA short-label
Jump Condition: Jump if CF = 0 and ZF = 0
Used after a CMP or SUB instruction, JA transfers control to short-
label if the first operand (which should be unsigned) was greater than
the second operand (also unsigned). The target of the jump must be
within -128 to +127 bytes of the next instruction.

Notes: JNBE, Jump Not Below or Equal, is the same
instruction as JA.
JA, Jump on Above, should be used when comparing
unsigned numbers.
JG, Jump on Greater, should be used when comparing
signed numbers.
