RISC Assembly needed to search array

[Rogue10]

Hi all, I kind of need some help here. I'm relatively new to Assembly, especially RISC.

I need an assembly prgm to find the smallest number in memory between addresses 0 and 32, and store the index in register 5. I know I need a loop in there, I'm just unsure on how to implement it.

Any ideas?
Cheers

RISC is just an implementation of the hardware of the processor, it has nothing to do with it's assembly language.

Which assembler are you using? and on which processor?

The general outline of the program would be the following (I'm inventing some pseudo code here):

A = 1
B = [0]
loop:
C = [A]
if C<B then B = C
INC A
if A<=32 then JUMP loop

The desired result is in B
