QUESTION 8:
Translate the following pseudoinstruction into the corresponding basic assembly instruction (use mnemonic register names):
li $v0,12 == ori ____,____,____
ori $t5,$0,74
puts the binary representation of 7410 into
register $t5.
The ori instruction,
used as above, copies a bit pattern from the instruction into
the destination register.
(Recall that the 16 bit immediate operand is zero-extended into 32 bits.)
This operation is usually called a
load immediate operation—it loads a register with
a value that is immediately available (without going to memory).
You might wish that there were a mnemonic
for "load immediate".
There is.
The extended assembler includes the li
mnemonic.
The assembler
translates this pseudoinstruction into
the appropriate basic instruction.
li d,value # load register $d with the
# positive or negative integer
# "value". Value may be a
# 16 or a 32-bit integer.
# (pseudoinstruction)
Translate the following pseudoinstruction into the corresponding basic assembly instruction (use mnemonic register names):
li $v0,12 == ori ____,____,____
