A function that is passed in an array of ints and the length of the array and tells you the greatest number in the array. eg: max(int numbers[], int len). Built on for i386, on a Mac, so you may need to change the labels (remove underscore), and the comme

max.asm

.text
.globl _max
_max:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp

movl 8(%ebp), %ecx  #; assume first number is the greatest
movl %ecx, %eax     #; eax points to the beggining of numbers[]
movl (%ecx), %ecx   #; %ecx stores the highest number found
movl 12(%ebp), %edx #; len
jmp .compare

.new_greatest:
movl (%eax), %ecx

.loop:
decl %edx

cmpl (%eax), %ecx
jl .new_greatest

.compare:
cmpl $1, %edx
