Operands In the Ch. 2 lecture notes, we discussed three different locations where the operands of an instruction may be found.
What are the three locations?
In MIPS assembler, if a function returns an integer value, which register should the return value be placed in?
Which register is dedicated to the assembler so it may use this register when implementing pseudo instructions?
In a MIPS32 system, suppose a 4-byte signed integer variable named x is allocated in memory at 0 times 1001_4822?
Would there be any issues with this scenario?
In a MIPS32 system, suppose a 4-byte signed integer variable named x with value 0 times AABBCCDD is allocated in memory at 0 times 1001_0000?
The system is big-endian.
Draw a memory diagram showing the four bytes of x stored in memory and clearly label the addresses of each byte of x.
