What is the 8085A microprocessor code for finding the largest number?

Answer 1

The processor makes no difference in C Programming -- the compiler will generate the appropriate instructions for you.

To find the largest number in a sequence of numbers, store the numbers in an array. Then invoke the following function, passing the array and its length:

unsigned largest (double* num_array, unsigned size) {

if (!num_array !size) return size;

unsigned max = 0;

unsigned index;

for (index=1; index<size; ++index)

if (num_array[index]>num_array[max]) max = index;

return max;

}

The return value holds the index of the largest value in the array.
