MIPS Input/Output: Translate & Test Program

[heyhey]

This is the program I need to translate:

main()
{
    int i;
    int number=0;
    int result=0;

    for(i=0; i<10; i++){
        printf("Testing:");
        scanf("%i",&number);


        result = PerfectSquare(number);

        if(result==0)
            printf("Fail\n");
        else
            printf("%i\n",result);

    }

And this is my attempt...But it's not working on the SPIM compiler.

.data							
promptmsg:.asciiz "Testing:"	
msg1:.asciiz "Fail!"	
.text
.globl main


main:				#start of code

li 	$v0,4			#store 4 in $v0
la 	$a0,promptmsg		#copy RAM address of promptmsg into $a0 
	syscall 		#print msg
li 	$v0,5			#store 5 in $v0
li 	$t0,10			#t0 is a constant 0
li 	$t1,0			#t1 is the counter(i) for loop
loop:
beq 	$t1,$t0,end		#if t1==10 we are done
	syscall			#call operating system to perform operation
add 	$a0,$v0,$0 		#move $v0 to $a0

jal 	PerfectSquare		#call PerfectSquare function
add 	$a0,$v0,$0		#move to $a0

li 	$v0,1			#store 1 in $v0
la 	$a0,msg1		#copy RAM address of promptmsg into $a0
	syscall			# call operating system to perform operation

li 	$v0,10			#store 10 in $v0
	syscall			# call operating system to perform operation
end:

            printf("%i\n",result);

    }

Where is the code for the PerfectSquare function?

"Not working" is pretty vague. Are you getting assembler errors? If not, what output are you getting?

.data							
promptmsg:.asciiz "Testing:"	
msg1:.asciiz "Fail!"	
.text
.globl main


main:				#start of code

li 	$v0,4			#store 4 in $v0
la 	$a0,promptmsg		#copy RAM address of promptmsg into $a0 
	syscall 		#print msg
li 	$v0,5			#store 5 in $v0
li 	$t0,10			#t0 is a constant 0
li 	$t1,0			#t1 is the counter(i) for loop
loop:
beq 	$t1,$t0,end		#if t1==10 we are done
	syscall			#call operating system to perform operation
add 	$a0,$v0,$0 		#move $v0 to $a0

jal 	PerfectSquare		#call PerfectSquare function
add 	$a0,$v0,$0		#move to $a0

li 	$v0,1			#store 1 in $v0
la 	$a0,msg1		#copy RAM address of promptmsg into $a0
	syscall			# call operating system to perform operation

li 	$v0,10			#store 10 in $v0
	syscall			# call operating system to perform operation
