What is dad and what are the flags affected by dad in 8085?

In the 8085 microprocessor, DAD (Double Add) is an instruction that adds the contents of a specified 16-bit register pair (HL, BC, or DE) to the contents of the accumulator (A) and stores the result back in the 16-bit register pair. The flags affected by the DAD instruction are the Carry flag (CY) and the Parity flag (P). The Zero flag (Z) and Sign flag (S) remain unaffected. Additionally, the Auxiliary Carry flag (AC) is also not affected by this operation.
