need some advice for sequence generator
I don't want an solution but some small hint because I have not the slightest clue what I have to do.
I read the entire manual but it seems there is no way to compare two values.
I can only check if an value is positive, negative, zero or not zero, but that won't help me along on this problem. I tried to move static numbers to the output but after the first test cycle there are coming new random numbers (also it's an unsatisfying way to solve an problem.)
I can't think of any way get past this level. Is there some new mechanic which I don't know or is it possible to solve this segment with all commands I had to use in the previous levels?

I haven't started that level yet, but I guess you could substract one number from the other and compare the result with 0, which is something that you can do with the conditional jump instructions. That would tell you which number is bigger than the other or if they are the same.

thanks, regardless that I managed it on my own the last minutes ago (finally), I became this idea just after I started this thread, that's one of these mind-coincidences I have almost every time.

I got 109 cycles in the end.
