Question

Convert Char to Int in MIPS, however do it using the $fp register and $sp register.

For example:

li $t0, 97
sb $t0, -1($fp)

   lb $t1, -1($fp)
   sb $t1, y

   lb $t3, -1($fp)
   la $sp, -4($sp)
   sw $t3, 0($sp)
   jal print_int

This will print 97.

However, I am having trouble converting the byte into an integer, what I tried:

li $t0, 97
sb $t0, -1($fp)

lb $t1, -1($fp)
sb $t1, y

lb $t2, -1($fp)

sw $t2, -5($fp)

   lb $t3, -5($fp)
   la $sp, -4($sp)
   sw $t3, 0($sp)
   jal print_int

This will print 0. Help please.

So it is my suggestion to try this one using the ASCII code rather than converting the Char to Int, So that u can get the desired output
