Question

I am currently learing MIPS for a class and wrote the below sample code.

# UNTITLED PROGRAM

.data   # Data declaration section

.text

       main:      # Start of code section

               li $t1, 72
           move $a0, $t1
           li $v0,1

       exit:
              li $v0, 10
              syscall

# END OF PROGRAM

As shown the value of ’72’ is stored in register $t1. Now, how do I parse out the ‘7’ and ‘2’ out?

Answer 1

Divide by 10, the modulo is your next digit, repeat until the result of division is 0. This assuming you’re not working with floating point numbers.
