[SOLVED] MIPS assembly Homework #4

Homework #4
CEN/CSI333: Programming at the HW/SW Interface Prof. Muckell | Spring 2019
Importance of Homework: Homework assignments are designed to provide valuable practice outside of the classroom. Students that take homeworks seriously tend to learn the material and thereby do much better on the exams. Cheating is self-destructive, as in best case scenario you will simply not understand the concepts and do poorly on the exams, and in the worst-case scenario could face university disciplinary action. A lot of the concepts build upon each other, so it is important to seek help if you are struggling understanding certain concepts. This will allow you to be successful not only in this class, but also in future classes that depend on these concepts, and later in your future career. At some point, most students will struggle on some of the homework questions. Thats OK! You should know that help is available. The three primary ways of getting help are coming to office hours (posted on Blackboard), posting a question on the Ask a Question forum on Blackboard, or sending the professor or TA an email. Each homework is followed by a lab session that reviews and builds upon concepts covered in the homework. The lowest two homework grades will be dropped at the end of the semester, but it is highly recommended to complete all the homework, since the concepts are important and will be on the exams.
Description: Write a pow(x, y) function in MIPS assembly, such that pow(x,y) computes xy.
To receive full credit, your program should meet all of the following criteria:
A main function that:
o Promptstheuserforanumberandanexponent o Callspowusingthejalinstruction
o Displayreturnvaluefromthepow(x,y)function
A pow(x, y) function that:
o Computestheproperresultbasedoninputparameters o Returnsproperlyusingthejrinstruction
Overall, the program should:
o FollowsMIPSregisterusageconventions
o Containcodethatisorganized,easytoread,andproperlycommented
