    I am try to create an MIPS Assembly program that takes 5 values from a user and places them in an array. One the 5 values have filled the array, I want the program to output the least value in the array.

    I can cannot get the program to fill the array? Have any suggestions?

    Here is my code:
    Code:
    .data
    array:.space 24
    counter:.word 6
    least:	.word 0
    message0:.asciiz "The lowest number in the array is: "
    message1:.asciiz "Enter a value for array: "
    .text
    
    la $t1, array		#loads array address to t1
    li $t6, 0
    
    fillarray:
    li $v0, 4		#displays message1
    la $a0, message1
    syscall
    
    li $v0, 5
    syscall
    sw $v0, array($t1)
    
    add $t6, $t6, 4		#increments count+1
    add $t1, $t1, 4		#advances array[n]
    blt $t6, 24, fillarray	#If counter is less than 24 fillarray
    
    main:
    
    lw $t3, counter		#leads counter = 6 to t3
    lw $s5, ($t1)		#loads first value to s5
    add $t1, $t1, 4		#increments array[n]
    add $t3, $t3, -1	#decrements counter-1
    
    loop:
    lw $t4, ($t1)		#loads array[n] into t4
    ble $s5,$t4,L1		#if s5 <= t4
    move $s5, $t4		#moves new least value from t4 to s5
    
    L1:
    add $t3, $t3, -1	#decrement counter-1
    addi $t1, $t1, 4	#advances array[n]
    bnez $t3, loop		#if t3 is not equal to 0 loop again
    
    li $v0, 4		#displays message0
    la $a0, message0
    syscall
    
    sw $s5, least		#displays least value
    lw $a0, least
    li $v0, 1
    
    syscall  		#exits
    li $v0, 10
