The Condition Code register, or CCR, is a register which has its bits set or reset when certain conditions are met. For example, when adding 2 eight-bit numbers, and storing into an eight-bit register, a carry might occur, in which case the carry bit in the CCR would be set. This can be used later with an instruction like 'branch if carry set' (BCS).
