mips read string code example
Example: mips how to store user input string
# This code works fine in QtSpim simulator
.data
buffer: .space 20
str1: .asciiz "Enter string"
str2: .asciiz "You wrote:\n"
.text
main:
la $a0, str1 # Load and print string asking for string
li $v0, 4
syscall
li $v0, 8 # take in input
la $a0, buffer # load byte space into address
li $a1, 20 # allot the byte space for string
move $t0, $a0 # save string to t0
syscall
la $a0, str2 # load and print "you wrote" string
li $v0, 4
syscall
la $a0, buffer # reload byte space to primary address
move $a0, $t0 # primary address = t0 address (load pointer)
li $v0, 4 # print string
syscall
li $v0, 10 # end program
