#Lab 2: Finding the minimum of a set of elements
Assume that you have an array of 10 elements with base address in $s0. Append to the template code already given the code necessary to find the minimum value from the array (by iterating over the array) and store that value in register $t0.

Note: you are free to use any MIPS assembly instructions or pseudo instructions that are recognized by Spim, but in order to receive full credit you must use a loop.

#Assembler Directives
.data
.word 7
.word 3
.word 17
.word 12
.word 30
.word 2
.word 5
.word 1
.word 16
.word 11
.text
.globl main

#$s0 contains the address of the first
#of the data
main:
lui $s0, 0x1001
ori $s0,$s0,0

Once you have saved the program template, you can write the code, assuming that the base address is in $s0. There are 10 elements to be read, and again, you must find the minimum;

Explanation / Answer

//The necessary MIPS code is written below

//SOURCE POINTER is $t1

#Adding $t1, $s0 and $zero
add $t1, $s0, $zero

#TO load a word from $t0

loop: lw $t3, ($t1)

# Storing the above value to $to

sw $t3, ($t0)

# Now we have to increase the source address by "4"

addi $t1, $t1, 4

# Similarly now we need to increase the destination address by 4

addi $t0, $t0, 4

#The number of bytes we have copied till now is in $t2

subu $t2, $t1, $s0

# To check if the total bytes are 40, we will see the value in $t3

slti $t4, 40 ;

#Repeat the loop

bne $t4, $zero, loop;
