I am supposing that file is count.txt and is already exists so in initials of the main() do this *int count; FILE* fp; if((fp=fopen(count.txt,r))==NULL) { printf(File does not exist\n); exit(0): } fscanf(fp,%d,count); count++; fclose(fp); fp=fopen(count.txt,w); fprintf(fp,%d,count);

@Siva: The problem clearly states that we are to find MAXINT - The maximum positive unsigned integer. It doesn't say that we are to find the maximum of any particular integers. In particular, it says that the initial contents of A and B are unknown, not that the initial contents are two integers

thanks a lot dave for clarification :) but this is there any possibility to find max of 2 no.s using those instructions alone(assuming contents of registers are +ve ) ? I found a solution finding difference of 2 no.s (SUB is required) and checking for the whether a-b is +ve or -ve using '' and

@Siva: Note that in 2-s complement arithmetic, -b = ~b + 1. So a - b = a + (-b) = a + (~b + 1) = (a + ~b) + 1. Thus, a - b can be written as NOT B ADD A,B // reading this as add B to A, i.e., result is in A. ADD A,1 Dave On Sep 17, 11:15 am, siva viknesh sivavikne...@gmail.com wrote:
