What is the difference between jmp and ja?

Question

From my understanding jmp does an unconditional jump, whereas ja jumps if the value is unsigned. Am I getting this right?

An example would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You're correct that jmp does an unconditional jump.

Your description of ja is incorrect, though. It does a conditional jump, based on the result of the most recent cmp operation. It jumps if the first operand was greater than the second operand, using unsigned comparison rather than signed comparison. jg would use signed comparison.
