Question

In this project, an InputLoop is provided to read in a sequence of single-precision float-point numbers and you are required to add MIPS code to compute the SUM, MIN and MAX of these float-point numbers. The finished project4.asm should be filled with your MIPS code in the specified space, labels as Tasks in the comments: Task 1): Add MIPS code to decide whether the input number is 0.0, which indicates the end of the input numbers. In another words, if 0.0 is input, you need to jump out of the input loop. Note that 0.0 is not counted as an input number. Task 2): Write MIPS code in the loop to update SUM ($f4), MAX ($f5) and MIN ($f6) based on each new input. Sum is the summation, MIN is the minimum and MAX is the maximum. Note that the current code does not contain instructions to exit the loop. The code for printing out the SUM, MIN and MAX has been provided at the end of this project.
