Problem: To find minimum of two 16bit numbers using 8086 Microprocessor.
Algorithm:
- Move the first number to register AX.
- Move the second number to register BX.
- Compare the content of register AX and BX if carry goto step 5 otherwise goto step 4.
- Move the content of register BX to the register AX.
- Move the content of register AX to the memory location.
Program:
MOV AX, [0600]
MOV BX, [0602]
CMP AX, BX
JC **
MOV AX, BX
** MOV [0604], AX
HLT
Observation:
INPUT:
0600 : 14
0601 : 12
0602 : 23
0603 : 11
OUTPUT:
0604 : 14
0605 : 12
Hence, we successfully find the minimum of two 16-bit numbers using 8086 Microprocessor.
