This assignment is designed to give you practice building control structures in MIPS

VERY IMPORTANT: You are restricted to the core instructions for this assignment. DO NOT use any pseudo or extended instructions. Turn off the option on MARS under settings that allows the use of these instructions, This means you must use the standard formats and no use of li or la instructions.

? Use only the instructions covered to date. No jal and jr. Do not use any pseudo-instructions.

Write a MIPS assembly language program to do the following.

1. Print your name

2. Prompt the user for the number of times to repeat the testing of your logic for step 4. (See the example below.)

3. Read an integer

4. If the integer that is input is less than 1 Print an error message.

Else Repeat the following steps the number of times input in step 3. This will require a loop. a. Read in a list of integers ending with a 0. The 0 marks the end of the input and is not considered part of the list. b. Print the largest and smallest numbers in the input list. If only a zero appears in the list, print an error message

5. Print an ending message and then end your program. Note: your program should not end with an error message

Example input and output for the program.

In this example, the number of times the logic is tested in this example is 3.

Tom Jones

Enter the number of times to test: 3

Enter a number 1

Enter a number 0

The smallest number is 1

The largest number is 1

Enter a number 0

Error: there are no numbers to test

Enter a number -1

Enter a number 8

Enter a number 5

Enter a number 0

The smallest number is -1
