# MIS 6010 Lab No3 - Program to Compute Sum of Squares

#
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
# EXERCISE-1
# 1) Run this code and Observe the values of all registers and memory used in this
program
# 2) Modify this code to include your name in the display console (this is
mandatory).
# 3) Take screenshots of the registers, memory, Mips Assembly code and console and
paste into a
# word document for submision in Blackboard.

# EXERCISE-2
# 1) As a separate exercise, compute and print the square for each loop count and
# finally print the sum of the squares
# 2) Ensure your name appears in the output console as part of the output
# 3) Take screenshots of the registers, memory, Mips Assembly code and console and
paste into a
# word/pdf document for submision in Blackboard.

# The following is an example program to find the sum of squares from 1 to n.

# For example, the sum of squares for 10 is as follows:
# 1*1 + 2*2 + 3*3 + ..... + 10*10 = 385

# The example main initializes the n to arbitrary value 10 to match the example.

# Data Declarations

.data

n: .word 10
sumOfSquares: .word 0
msg: .asciiz "Sum of Squares"

#Compute sum of squares from 1 to n.

li $t1, 1 # loop index (1 to n)

 add $t1, $t1, 1

sw $t2, sumOfSquares

# Now print sum Of Squares

li $v0, 4 # system call 4 (print a string)

la $a0, msg # argument: address of message string
syscall

li $v0, 1 # system call code for print int

add $a0, $t2, $zero # argument: sumOfSquares as integer
syscall # system call

# -----------------------------------------
# Done, terminate program.
li $v0, 10 # call code for terminate
