I'm suppose to convert this Java code into MIPS. Here's the Java Code:
float data[] = {9.24, 1.15, 3.91, -2.30, 7.43, 5.79, 6.83, 3.14};
int size = 8;
/**
* average is passed the base address of the array of floats and
* its size. It prompts the user for the number of elements from
* the array to average, averages them, and prints the result.
*/
public static void average(float nums[], int size) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("How many should be averaged?");
int n = scan.nextInt();
if (n > size){ // don't average more than there are
n = size;}
float sum = 0.0;
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
sum = sum + nums[i];}
System.out.println("The average is " + (sum / n));
}
Here's what i have so far:
.data
data: .float 9.24, 1.15, 3.91, -2.30, 7.43, 5.79, 6.83, 3.14
size: .word 8
prompt0: .asciiz "\n How many should be averaged? "
prompt1: .asciiz "\n The average is: "
.text
la $s0,data
la $s1,size
lwc1 $f1, 0($s0)
lw $s2, 0($s1)
mtc1 $s2, $f2
cvt.s.w $f2,$f2 #size of array stored in $f2
jal average
average:
la $a0, prompt0
li $v0, 4 #print string
syscall
li $v0, 5 #get float from the keyboard; $f0 now has $v0
syscall
move $s6,$v0
#start comparison
slt $s7,$s6,$s2
beq $s7,$zero, inputGreater
add.s $f5,$f5,$f5 # float sum = 0.0
li $a1, 0 #int i = 0
li $a2, 1 # our incrementor
forLoop:
slt $t0,$a1,$s6 #i < n
add.s $f5,$f5,$f1
add.s $f6,$f6,$f7
j forLoop
endLoop:
la $s5,prompt1
li $v0,4
syscall
div.s $f10,$f5,$f0
li $v0,2
syscall
inputGreater:
#mov.s $f0,$f2
#j forLoop
move $s7,$s2
j forLoop
end:
li $v0,10
syscall
Somewhere I'm stuck in an infinite loop; I have some problems implementing this line:sum = sum + nums[i];
And i'm suppose to do the division without using the div
command.
