Hi when decoding mips using mips language you have to partition the code.

After youve partitioned the instruction lets say a branch instruction into:

OP code
Sregister
Tregister 
Address

$t1 contains the value 0100 which is 8 and I wanted to print this as 8:

If i tried to print $t1 i get the integer 0100 instead of 8. Does anyone know a way around this?

_"If i tried to print $t1 i get the integer 0100 instead of 8"_ How exactly did you try to print it? – Michael Feb 08 '14 at 22:21
li $v0, 4 then li $a0, $t1 then syscall – user3175173 Feb 08 '14 at 22:41
@user3175173 What? Firstly you can't use `li` with a register instead of an immediate. Secondly, are you using spim or MARS? Because if you are syscall 4 is print string. – Konrad Lindenbach Feb 09 '14 at 00:26
sorry i meant: li $v0 1 then add $a0, $t1, $zero then syscall. Its still printing 0100 instead of the actual int – user3175173 Feb 09 '14 at 01:31
and ive been using spim – user3175173 Feb 09 '14 at 01:36
