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

a  social news website  is an  internet  website  that features  user-posted stories. such stories are ranked based on popularity, as voted on by other users of the site or by website administrators. users typically comment online on the news posts and these comments may also be ranked in popularity. since their emergence with the birth of  web 2.0, social news sites have been used to link many types of information, including news, humor, support, and discussion. all such websites allow the users to submit content and each site differs in how the content is moderated. on the  slashdot  and  fark  websites,  administrators  decide which articles are selected for the front page. on  reddit  and  digg, the articles that get the most votes from the community of users will make it to the front page. many social news websites also feature an online comment system, where users discuss the issues raised in an article. some of these sites have also applied their voting system to the comments, so that the most popular comments are displayed first. some social news websites also have a  social networking  function, in that users can set up a user profile and follow other users' online activity on the website.
