Program Plan Intro

MIPS:

  • MIPS stand for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages.
  • MIPS instructions have 32-bits general purpose registers.
  • The register preceded by “$” in assembly language instruction and it contains two formats for addressing one is register number and another is equivalent names.
  • The result of multiplication and division can be stored in the special registers “Lo” and “Hi”.

Example:

Consider an example of MIPS assembly code:

#add the variables and store it in “a” variable

add a, b, c

Here the given instruction tell the computer to add the two variables “b” and “c” and store the result in the “a” variable.
