I save above as '081211_test.cpp'

I compile like this:
g++ -Wall -W -pedantic 081211_test.cpp -o 081211_test

The I run like this:
./081211_test
Enter a number: 4   <-- there is my input

Then I view the return value like this:
echo $?             <-- the command 
4                   <-- the output

item in the list i hope u can go over this part 
i do understand what it is doing but the syntax part 
i wanna know more about it"

i wish if u go over the cmpl instruction cuz 
the book says it compare two integer and discard t
he result but returns a flag ??"
"now the last part is to call interruption 80 to exit the application. i also want to know hoe echo$? will dispaly the %ebax which is holding the max value in the array"
