8085 Program to perform bubble sort in descending order


In this program we will see how to sort a block of bytes in descending order using bubble sorting technique.

Problem Statement

Write8085 Assembly language program to sort numbers in descending order where n number of numbers are stored in consecutive memory locations starting from 8041H and the value of n is available in memory location 8040H (Using BUBBLE sort).

Discussion

In this program we will arrange the numbers in bubble sorting technique. In this sorting technique, it will be executed in different pass. In each pass the smallest number is stored at the end of the list. Here we are taking the numbers from location 8041H to 8046H. The array size is stored at8040H.
