2. Write a MIPS program that will handle calculating minifloat addition for two numbers using the rules discussed in class and storing each of the parts as a binary integer. To do this, each 'minifloat number will need to be represented (I suggest hard coded) as one register for the sign, one for the exponent part, one for the 'significand' (which you then conve to the fraction part). Hard coding means here that you don't need to read in the 6 parts as use input, just have something like li $s0, 0 li $1, 12 li $2, 5 which is equivalent to a minifloat of 0 1101 101 = 1.101 * 2^(12-7) = 1.101*2^5 This means your program will be work with at least 6 registers as variables. For testing, show that your program can correctly calculate the Lab 5 X+Y and A+B and then on other example of your choosing. Don't worry about special cases of 0 0000 000 or 1 1111 111 or similar, but your program shoul detect overflow. This will involve a lot of (in your head) jumping back and forth between decimal and binary potentially: that's the point.

It is well known that computers operate in binary. Why aren't alternative systems like decimal, octal, and sixteenth used instead?

Can someone please show me a program written in mips that will calculate the nth root of any number written from the beginning.  I have a formula but I can't get it into code.  Thank you!

Create a MASM assembly program called "Equation.asm" that calculates the following: A = B * 3 +6 / (X + D)  where B == 10, X == 4, D == 2   Define all variables as Word. Make sure you use: .model small.586.stack 100h.data.code

What does this MIPS program do? - in english  addi $s0, $0, 0      addi $s1, $0, 1      addi $t0, $s0, 50 loop: beq $s0, $t0, done      add $s1, $s1, $s1      addi $s0, $s0, 2      j   loop done:
