Yes.
A two-way decision (alternation) is written in assembly language using both a conditional branch and a jump instruction. Look at this example carefully! It shows how a basic control structure is built out of small assembly instructions.
... # load values into # $8 and $9 beq $8,$9,equal # branch if equal sll $0,$0,0 # branch delay slot ... # ... # false branch ... # j cont sll $0,$0,0 # branch delay slot equal: ... # ... # true branch ... # cont: add $10,$10,$11 # always executed
Of course, any of the conditional branch instructions may
be used in the place of beq
.
If you want the "true" branch to come first and the "false"
branch to come second
(as in an if-then-else of Java or C),
pick a different branch instruction.
