Cleared. DECA subtracts 1 from accumulator A and sets the Z flag if the
result is 0, clears it otherwise. ff - 1 is fe, a non-zero value
therefore the Z flag will be cleared. The value of the C flag before the
instruction is irrelevant and the instruction will not change it.

Worth 5 points on your mid-term exam?

You might consider looking in the processor databook. You will need
to do so many times in your engineering career.
You might consider using a debugger and single-stepping a DECA to see
what happens. You will need to do so many times in your engineering
career. Especially when it turns out that the databook is wrong...
