You are to complete the program by writing four functions.  Pay particular attention to the purpose of each function, what registers to use and how the parameters and stack are to be used.  If the instructions specify a particular register, then you must use it.

1.      print

                                  $a0 - address of a string to print

                                   $a1 - value of an integer value to print

                                   $a2 - boolean value (1 or 0)

 

This function must first print the string, then if $a2 holds a 1 (true) print the integer.  Both outputs must be on the same line. End the output with a newline. 

2.      multiply

                                   $a0 - first integer

                                   $a1 - second integer

                                   $v0 - first integer * second integer

 

This function is to calculate and return the result of multiplying the arguments together. You may assume that both arguments are greater than zero.  As multiplication is really repeated addition, you can calculate the result by adding and using a loop.  Using a version of the mult instruction is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

3.      getpos 

                                   $a0 - prompt

                                   $v0 - positive integer input

This function will print the prompt string by calling the print function (above) and then get input from the user.  This process is repeated until a value greater than zero is input.  The value is then returned in $v0.  As this function calls another function so you MUSTsave the $ra on the stack (not into another register).

4.      getinput

                                  $a0 - address to store the first value

                                   $a1 - address to store the second value

This function must call the getpos function two times and store each return value into the memory locations given in $a0 and $a1.  As this function calls another function so you MUST save the $ra on the stack (not into another register).

General:

1.      Do not use pseudo-instructions.  

2.      All calls to the functions must be done through jal and returns through jr.

3.      Your code must be documented for each function.  Describe which registers are used in the function and how they are used.
