;This is 8086 assembly language program to find the median of the ;given elements of data (8-bit hexadecimal numbers)

; We need to first arrange the elements in their ascending order. ;Median of n elements where n is odd =middle term of data arranged ;in ascending order ; Median of n elements where n is even =[(n/2)the term +((n1)/2)th term]/2

assume cs:code, ds:data data segment ; the program contains array consisting of even and odd number ; of elements, taken one at a time ; Execute odd array at one time and remove comment for even array at ;second time and check for both the cases ;This is odd array array db 10h, 3ah, 9bh, 57h, 83h, 77h, 0f5h,42h, 0c9h ;This is even array ;array db 15h,7ah,0cch,0adh,59h,4bh,82h,9ch,30h,2eh count db $-array median db ? data ends code segment start: mov ax, data mov ds, ax mov ax, 0000h mov bx, 0000h mov cx, 0000h mov dx, 0000h
