Find Maximum and Minimum of 10 Numbers in 8085

In this program we will see how to find the maximum and minimum number in a block data.

Problem Statement

Write 8085 Assembly language program to find the maximum and minimum number in a block often 8-bit numbers.

Discussion

In this program we are taking the first number of the block into register D and E. The D will store the minimum number, and E will store maximum number. In each iteration we will check whether the number is smaller than D or not, if it is smaller, then update D with the new number, and then compare it again with E to check whether the number is larger than E or not. If larger, then update E with the new number.
