Sort Integer Array in Descending Order using 8086

In this program we will see how to sort array elements in descending order.

Problem Statement

Write 8086 Assembly language program to sort in descending order of the elements in a given array, which is starts from memory offset 501. The size of the series is stored at memory offset 500.

Discussion

Here we are sorting the number in bubble sorting technique. In this sorting technique there will be n passes for n different numbers. In i^th pass the i^th smallest element will be placed at the end. This is comparison based sort. We taking two consecutive numbers, compare them, and then swap them if the numbers are not in correct order.
