Hereby the code i have wrote about a small porgram to to find the maximum number from three numbers.

Waiting your comments,,,

GET AX;
MOV BX,AS;
GET AX;
MOV CX, AX;
GET AX;
CMP AX,BX;
CMP AX,CX
Put AX
End

And this works? It's better if you mention whether the code works or not so we can adjust our comments accordingly. Here are the things that I took note of:

>MOV BX,AS;
This looks like a typo, and you probably meant AX. You also don't need to terminate a statement with a semicolon in assembly. What you're doing is starting an empty comment. It's harmless, but confusing.

>CMP AX,BX;
>CMP AX,CX
>Put AX
How is this supposed to place the largest of the three values in AX? The cmp instruction doesn't write to either of its operands, so you're basically setting the flags for ax-bx, then overwriting the flags with ax-cx. Whatever ax was originally is printed, so your algorithm won't work as you intend.

You need to either print the correct register, or move the correct value to AX, and that means a conditional test, which means a jump:

cmp     ax,bx
        jnl     .axbigger1
        mov     ax,bx
.axbigger1:
        cmp     ax,cx
        jnl     .axbigger2
        mov     ax,cx
.axbigger2:
        put     ax

That's the obvious way to do it. You can play math arithmetic games, but that destroys clarity.

Thanks,
But what do you mean by : jnl

The mnemonic jnl means jump if not less

Here's code that finds the maximum value in an array
of bytes.

bits 16
org 100h

start:
mov bx, arr
mov al, [bx]
xor di, di
inc di
start_l:
cmp byte [bx+di], 0
jz exit
cmp al, [bx+di]
jb swap
return:
inc di
jmp start_l
swap:
mov al, [bx+di]
jmp return
exit:
xor ah, ah
call disphex
int 0x20

arr db 2, 3, 1, 0

  disphex:
    push ax
    shr ax, 8
    call dispbyte
    pop ax
    push ax
    and ax, 0xff
    call dispbyte
    pop ax
    ret
  dispbyte:
    push ax
    shr al, 4
    call dispasc
    pop ax
    push ax
    and al, 0xf
    call dispasc
    pop ax

    push ax
    push dx
    add al, 0x30
    cmp al, 0x39
    jle dispasc_e
    add al, 0x7
  dispasc_e:
    mov dl, al
    mov ah, 2
    int 0x21

i have a problem though. I want only one on the screen in the same resolution which it is currently? Any suggestions?

Thank you very much if you can help, and also for trying...

Also, how do you get your posted code in those funky colors?

Much appreciated.

please send me afull assembly code for maximum fider from three numbers
