Posted By: Easy Tutor     Category: Assembly Language     Views: 9995

An AL Program that declares and initialize an array of size 10, then display the contents of the array before and after sorting it in ascending order by using Select Sort method.

Code for Program to perform selection sort in Assembly Language

 .MODEL SMALL
 .STACK 100H

 .DATA
    PROMPT_1  DB  'The contents of the array before sorting : $'
    PROMPT_2  DB  0DH,0AH,'The contents of the array after sorting : $'

    ARRAY   DB  5,3,9,0,2,6,1,7,8,4   
 
 .CODE
