### A good answer might be:

This `la` translates into a `lui` followed by a `ori` (just as we previously did by hand).

# SPIM Example

Here is a SPIM example using `la`. To run it in SPIM, first look in the settings menu and check "allow pseudo instructions" and remove the check from "bare machine".

    ## addEm.asm
    ## program to add two integers
    ##
            .text
            .globl  main

    main:
            la    $t0,val2     #  put a 32-bit address into $t0
            lw    $t1,0($t0)   #  load first value, 2
            lw    $t2,4($t0)   #  load second value, 3
            addu  $t1,$t1,$t2  #  calc. sum

            .data
    val0:   .word   0
    val1:   .word   1
    val2:   .word   2
    val3:   .word   3
    val4:   .word   4
    val5:   .word   5

    ## end of addEm.asm

Execute the program by pushing F10 for each machine instruction.

### QUESTION 16:

(Trick Question:) How many times will F10 be pushed?
