Problem: To find minimum of two 8-bit numbers using 8086 Microprocessor.

Algorithm:

1. Move the first number to register AL.
2. Move the second number to register BL.
3. Compare the content of register AL and BL if carry goto step 5 otherwise goto step 4.
4. Move the content of register BL to the register AL.
5. Move the content of register AL to the memory location.

Program:

	MOV     AL, [0600]
	MOV     BL, [0601]
	CMP     AL, BL
	JC **
	MOV     AL,BL
	** MOV [0602], AL
	HLT

Observation:

    INPUT:
    0600 : 14
    0601 : 12

    OUTPUT:
    0602 : 12

Hence, we successfully find the minimum of two 8-bit numbers using 8086 Microprocessor.
