AIM: Write a program in 8086 microprocessor to add two arrays of

hexadecimal numbers using string instructions. And to find whethere a given
string is palindrome or not using string instructions

TOOLS REQUIRED: Assembler - MASM 611 PC with DOS and Debug

program

PROCEDURE: We write an assembly language program in 8086

microprocessor to add two array and to check if a string is palindrome and
display the output

ALGORITHM:
(Adding Arrays)
• In the data segment, initialise both the arrays
• In extra segment store the variable z=result
• Initialise data segment
• Count register= number of elements in array
• Add nth number in 1st array with the nth number in the 2nd array
• Store results
• Decrement the count
• Jump to the display when the result is not equal to 0
• Else terminate the program
• Code ends

(Palindrome String)

• Define BLOCK1 that needs to be reversed and create variable LEN

 • Create string ‘IS PALINDROME’ and ‘IS NOT PALINDROME’ and
assign them to variables
• Initialise data and extra segments
• SI= Address of BLOCK1, DI= Address of BLOCK2
• Compare the value stored at the address
• Increment the pointer, SI
• Decrements the pointer, DI
• Compare again the value stored at SI and DI
• Repeat the steps until SI<=DI
• Display MSG1
• Else skip display MSG2
• Stop

OUTPUT:
(String=”DAD”)

(STRING= “SHREY”)

RESULT: We have performed addition of two arrays using instruction of

strings and finiding if a string is a palindrome or not following the
algorithm and using 8086 progtams in DosBox application.
