I believe i did this correct, can anyone double check on the work. And if it is correct where should I look to verify that it is picking the right number. So i am trying to give the array and see which one is the smallest number out of that array.
Org 100 /Find minimum
Load Start
Add Num
Subt One

Loadi Loc
Store Min
Load Num

Min, Dec 0 /where we save the min
Num, Dec 10 /Numbers of value in array

J, Dec 0 /Loop variable
Loc, Dec 0
Start, Hex 121 /Be sure to start off values in array
Array, Dec 5
Dec 20
Dec 11
Dec 15
Dec 83
Dec 2
Dec 7
Dec 1
Dec 13

This looks suspicious:
What do you have at zero address?
[edit] Ah that was right, but another thing: doesn't it skip the 9th array element?
I understand it initializes by : storing the 10th element as (current) min, sets ptr to 9th element and sets loop count to 9.
Then the first thing in the loop - after checking the loop counter, it decrements the pointer again before checking the "next" element.
Or did I understand something wrong?
[edit #2]
Ahah, the Marie behind the link I gave didn't understand the indirect instructions. This does. http://computerscience.jbpub.com/ecoa/3e/simulators.aspx
It looks like there is something else wrong too:
This doesn't make sense:
I guess the program is supposed to find the minimum, but it doesn't work at all.
