INC (Increment) is a 65x instruction that increments the value in the location specified by one. The size of the accumulator determines whether this is an 8 or 16 bit operation. An alternate mnemonic when the operand is the accumulator is "INA."

INC ignores the decimal mode flag and the carry flag.

Syntax

INC
INC A
INA
INC addr
INC dp
INC addr, X
INC dp, X

Cycle Penalties

• Except in accumulator addressing, INC takes two extra cycles when the accumulator is 16 bits wide.
• In direct page addressing modes, INC takes an extra cycle if the low byte of the direct page register is nonzero.
