Result:

Given data:

N = 19H, 99H, 45H, 46H, 34H

BYTE = 45H
Flags:

INITIALLY: C=0,Z=0,S=0,O=0,P=0,A=0,I=1,D=0
AFTER EXECUTION: C=0,Z=1,S=0,O=0,P=1,A=0,I=1,D=0
Output:

RES: 45H
ADDRESS: BX----0002

Conclusion:

In this program we studied that to find whether the given byte is in given string or not
& find its relative address.
