Answer and Explanation:
The program using Assembly language to calculate maximum value in array is given as below:
.data
space: .asciiz " "
X: .word 31, 17, 92, 46, 172, 208, 13, 93, 65, 112
N: .word 10
.text
main: la $a0, X #$a0=load address of array X
lw $a1, N #$a1=10 --number elements
jal readArray #call readArray
li $v0, 10 #exit program
syscall
readArray:
li $t0, 0 #$t0=0
li $t1, 0 #$t1=0
buc: bge $t0, $a1, final #if $t0 >= $a1 then goto final
lw $a0, X($t1) #$a0 = X(i)
li $v0, 1 #Print integer
syscall
la $a0, space #load a space: " "
li $v0, 4 #print string
syscall
addi $t1, $t1, 4 #Every 4 bytes there is an integer in the array
addi $t0, $t0, 1 #$t0=$t0+1
b buc #goto buc
final:
jr $ra #return
The algorithm which are the steps used above is:
Declares array of integers
Calls declared array
Reads declared array and compares integer values stored with if statements to make swap
prints array
Exits
