Using MARS/MIPS A) Write a program which increments from 0 to 15 and display results in Decimal on the console
B) Modify above program to increment from 0 to 15 and display results in Hexadecimal on the console

Explanation:

MIPS program which increments from 0 to 15 and display results in Decimal on the console

In this program the user defined procedures print_int and print_eot were used to print the integer values and new line characters(\n) respectively.the mechanisam of the loop is explaine in the comment section of the program.

     addi $s0, $0, 0

     addi $s1, $0, 15

print_int:

              li $v0, 1                # system call to print integer

              syscall                

              jr $ra                     # return

print_eol:                      # prints "\n"

            li $v0, 4            

              la $a0, linebrk      

              syscall              

              jr $ra                  # return

main: . . .          

              li $a0, 0                # print 0

              jal print_int         # print value in $a0

loop:   move $a0, $s0           # print loop count

       jal print_int        

       jal print_eol           # print "\n" character

       addi $s0, $s0, 1        # increment loop count by 1

       ble $s1, $s0, loop      # exit if $s1<$s0

beq $s0, $0, end

end:

MIPS progam to increment from 0 to 15 and display results in Hexadecimal on the console

this program is slightly differed from the previous program in this program the system call issued in print_int is implemented with a system call that prints numbers in hex.

addi $s0, $0, 15

     addi $s1, $0, 0

print_int:

   li      $v0,34                  # syscall number for "print hex"

   syscall                         # issue the syscall

              jr $ra                     # return

print_eol:                      # prints "\n"

            li $v0, 4            

              la $a0, linebrk      

              syscall              

              jr $ra                  # return

main: . . .          

              li $a0, 0                # print 0

              jal print_int         # print value in $a0

loop:   move $a0, $s0           # print loop count

       jal print_int        

       jal print_eol           # print "\n" character

       addi $s0, $s0, 1        # increment loop count by 1

       ble $s1, $s0, loop      # exit if $s0>$s1

beq $s0, $0, end

end:

false as there is no connection between those two industries

8 track im pretty sure came first
