Assembly Language Program To Find Largest Number in An Array

This assembly language program finds the largest number in an array. It stores the array starting at address 2051 and the size of the array at address 2050. It iterates through the array, comparing each element to the current largest element stored in register A. If a larger element is found, it is stored in A. After iterating through the whole array, the final value in A is stored at address 3050 as the largest element. The program uses registers A, H, L, and C and jumps between labels to iterate through the array and make comparisons to find the largest value.

Assembly language program to find largest number in an array


Problem – Determine largest number in an array of n elements. Value of n is stored at address 2050 and array starts from address 2051. Result is stored at ad‐
dress 3050. Starting address of program is taken as 2000.

Example –

Algorithm –

1. We are taking first element of array in A


2. Comparing A with other elements of array, if A is smaller then store that element in A otherwise compare with next element
3. The value of A is the answer

Program –

MEMORY ADDRESS MNEMONICS COMMENT

2000 LXI H 2050 H←20, L←50

2003 MOV C, M C←M

2004 DCR C C←C-01

2005 INX H HL←HL+0001

2006 MOV A, M A←M

2007 INX H HL←HL+0001

2008 CMP M A-M

Explanation – Registers used: A, H, L, C

1. LXI 2050 assigns 20 to H and 50 to L


2. MOV C, M copies content of memory (specified by HL register pair) to C (this is used as a counter)
3. DCR C decrements value of C by 1
4. INX H increases value of HL by 1. This is done to visit next memory location
5. MOV A, M copies content of memory (specified by HL register pair) to A
�. INX H increases value of HL by 1. This is done to visit next memory location
7. CMP M compares A and M by subtracting M from A. Carry flag and sign flag becomes set if A-M is negative
�. JNC 200D jumps program counter to 200D if carry flag = 0
9. MOV A, M copies content of memory (specified by HL register pair) to A
10. DCR C decrements value of C by 1
11. JNZ 2007 jumps program counter to 2007 if zero flag = 0
12. STA 3050 stores value of A at 3050 memory location
13. HLT stops executing the program and halts any further execution
