The <code>jo</code> instruction stands for "jump if overflow" and acts as a conditional <code>GOTO</code> in the event an overflow occurs.
Many high-level languages raisewill exceptionsdo ifsomething itsimilar, occursusually in the form of throwing exceptions. Keep in mind that raising errors on overflow is purely a software convention - the hardware will detect it any time it happens, but the software decides whether the overflow is actually a problem or not. (Overflow, of course, isn't a problem for unsigned integers, so no errors are thrown when they "overflow.")
