EECS 2110 assembly language programming
Section 1:
Using the MARS or SPIM simulator develop a program that will evaluate the following expression:
3 * n + n * (n – 1) – 15 where n is stored in a data location and is set to 15. Your program should use the system calls to print the result and to exit the program.
Section 2:
Using the MARS or SPIM simulator develop a program that will implement the following conditional statement.
{`
If ( n is even) {
n = n / 2;
} else {
n = 3 * n + 1;
}`}
In this case, n is to be input by the user (assume they input a non-negative value), the conditional is performed, and the resulting n is to be output. Again, use the system calls for input, output, and exiting the program. Hint: There is a remainder pseudoinstruction for the MIPS architecture that you can use to determine if the value is even or odd or you can look at bit 0 to determine if the value is even or odd.
Section 3:
You are to take the conditional from the previous section and build a loop around it to find the Collatz sequence. The structure of this would be:
{`
while (n > 1) {
If (n is even) {
n = n / 2;
} else {
n = 3 * n + 1;
} cout << n;
}`}
Section 4:
You are to write a leaf subprogram that will output the following information:
Your Name
Your favorite color
Your favorite sports team
The main program should call your leaf routine and then exit using the system call.
Section 5:
Write a program with a leaf subprogram that will take two values in $a0 and $a1 and compute their greatest common divisor. The greatest common divisor should be returned in the $v0 register. The main program should input the values for $a0 and $a1 using system calls, call your subprogram, and then output the result using a system call.
