Convert the C-like code provided to a High-Level State Machine. Do not optimize or change the code, simply convert as provided. 

Using the RTL design method, convert the high-level state machine you designed to a Datapath and Controller. You do not need to provide the Controller's corresponding Boolean equations (i.e. you only need to provide the FSM). Note: Be sure to explicitly list all inputs, outputs, and local registers along their respective sizes in your design using as few bits as possible for each register.

Inputs: a[256] (8 bits), go (1-bit)

Outputs: max_diff (1-byte), done (1-bit)

MAX_DIFF:

while(1) {

while(!go);

done = 0;

i = 0;

max = 0;

min = 255; // largest 8-bit value

while( i < 256 ) {

if( a[i] < min ) {

min = a[i];

}

if( a[i] > max ) {

max = a[i];

}

i = i + 1;

}

max_diff = max - min;

done = 1;

}
