How do you determine the anode and a cathode of a diode by multimeter?

A: ascertain the polarity of the ohmmeter leads as + - potential available then set the scale to kilo ohms and see if the reading is hi [ is the + lead is + then that imply that the diode is + to the cathode] therefore is not conducting. reverse the diode and the reading should be low implying anode is positive and the diode is conducting
