If I had an immediate value like:
.data
sum: .word 0
made some calculations in the code, and wanted to put the result back into "sum" in main memory, how would I do that? I've been going over the manual for the command, but I must not be understanding concepts as well as I should.
Any help for a newbie?
Use the Store Word instruction, sw. As usual, you have to use a register for the address, or let the assembler take care of that if it provides such support.
Suppose you want to write$t0 into sum:
la $t1, sum
sw $t0, ($t1)
or simply sw $t0, sum which your assembler will turn into equivalent code.
