Run the programs by setting the value of the PC to 0x400000 and then single stepping (pushing F10) or by multiple stepping (push F11 and enter a number of steps). Observing the results in the SPIM window.
Your program has a data section declared as follows:
.data .byte 12 .byte 97 .byte 133 .byte 82 .byte 236
Write a program that adds the values up, computes the average, and stores the result in a memory location. Is the average correct?
Hint: there are two easily-made errors in this program.
