Student information is stored in a data area, and each student entry is formatted as follows: The first nine bytes are the student ID in ASCII format. The following byte is the course score. The following phrase is the section identifier. There are over 300 such student records in memory, which have been loaded consecutively beginning at address $10000. To indicate the conclusion of the records, the last record loaded is a dummy record with a section identifier of $FFFF. Create an assembler subroutine GetMax that searches the complete list for the highest mark. If there is a tie, the student with the highest score on the list should be found. The beginning address of the subroutine should be returned.
