To be honest, this isn't my first attempt to post and get help, but the other site decided to close my post because it wasn't a good enough question and because I decided to bump it. Be awesome if you could help me out, been trying to figure this out. When I go to assemble and run the code, the program loops back up to the user prompt over and over again. I can only edit the Search section of the code. Basically the program should take the user input and tell where in the list the number that the is, if the number is in the list. When I ran it line by line, it went past the part it was stuck at, but it just printed the entire list. You will be considered awesome and get an internet high five from me. :cheers: Here is the MIPS Code: Code: .data list: .word 5 .word 7 .word 4 .word 6 .word 3 .word 8 .word 2 .word 9 .word 0 .word 30 .word 31 .word 39 .word 32 .word 38 .word 33 .word 37 .word 34 .word 36 .word 35 .word 20 .word 21 .word 29 .word 22 .word 28 .word 23 .word 27 .word 24 .word 26 .word 25 .word 10 .word 11 .word 19 .word 12 .word 18 .word 13 .word 17 .word 14 .word 16 .word 15 .word 1 # last array element .word -1 # not part of array prompt1: .asciiz "\nPlease enter an array element: " prompt2: .asciiz "\nPlease enter a search target: " space: .asciiz " " nfound: .asciiz "\nThe target was not found." found: .asciiz "\nThe target was found at array location " .text .globl main main: add $t0, $zero, $zero # [main] add $t1, $zero, $zero # addi $t2, $zero, 39 # addi $t3, $zero, 39 # add $t4, $zero, $zero # add $t5, $zero, $zero # add $t6, $zero, $zero # # add $t7, $zero, $zero # la $t8, list read: addi $v0, $zero, 4 # [read] la $a0, prompt1 # syscall addi $v0, $zero, 5 # syscall sll $t7, $t0, 2 # add $t9, $t8, $t7 sw $v0, 0($t9) addi $t0, $t0, 1 # ble $t0, $t2, read # add $t0, $zero, $zero # # add the code that is missing from right here search: add $t4, $t1, $t1 addi $t5, $t1, 1 sgt $t1, $t4, $t5 addi $t4, $t1, 1 add $t5, $t1, $t1 add $t1, $t1, 1 blt $t3, $t1, search sub $t3, $t3, 1 add $t0, $t0, 1 blt $t2, $t0, search print: addi $v0, $zero, 1 # [print] sll $t7, $t0, 2 # add $t9, $t8, $t7 lw $a0, 0($t9) syscall addi $v0, $zero, 4 # la $a0, space # syscall addi $t0, $t0, 1 # ble $t0, $t2, print # end: addi $v0, $zero, 10 # [end] syscall Here is the Java code that I am to translate from: Code: import java.io.*; public class CIS2233StarterCode2Java { public static void main (String [] args) throws IOException { BufferedReader kbd = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in)); int [] list = {5,7,4,6,3,8,2,9,0,20,21,29,22,28,23,27,24,26,25,30,31,39,32,38,33,37,34,36,35,10,11,19,12,18,13,17,14,16,15,1}; String prompt1 = "\nPlease enter an array element: "; String prompt2 = "\nPlease enter a search target: "; String space = " "; String nfound = "\nThe target was not found."; String found = "\nThe target was fount at array location "; int t0 = 0; int t1 = 0; int t2 = 39; int t3 = 39; int t4; int t5; int t6; int a0; int v0; // address calculation register t7 // base address of array register t8 // address calculation register t9 do { System.out.print (prompt1); v0 = Integer.parseInt(kbd.readLine()); list [t0] = v0; t0 ++; } while (t0 <= t2); t0 = 0; do { t1 = 0; do { t4 = list [t1]; t5 = list [t1 + 1]; if (t4 > t5) { list [t1 + 1] = t4; list [t1] = t5; } t1 ++; } while (t1 < t3); t3 --; t0 ++; } while (t0 < t2); t0 = 0; do { a0 = list [t0]; System.out.print (a0); System.out.print (space); t0 ++; } while (t0 <= t2); } }
Update to the search section. Still could use the help as the code won't go past the read section.

5 forum posts and can't get any help. All I have gotten is snobby remarks. Should of gotten something by now.
Never mind scratch that. Seriously just figured it out. The instructor made it so that the user has to enter 39 prompts. I have a new error though Here is the updated MIPS Code Code: .data list: .word 5 .word 7 .word 4 .word 6 .word 3 .word 8 .word 2 .word 9 .word 0 .word 30 .word 31 .word 39 .word 32 .word 38 .word 33 .word 37 .word 34 .word 36 .word 35 .word 20 .word 21 .word 29 .word 22 .word 28 .word 23 .word 27 .word 24 .word 26 .word 25 .word 10 .word 11 .word 19 .word 12 .word 18 .word 13 .word 17 .word 14 .word 16 .word 15 .word 1 # last array element .word -1 # not part of array prompt1: .asciiz "\nPlease enter an array element: " prompt2: .asciiz "\nPlease enter a search target: " space: .asciiz " " nfound: .asciiz "\nThe target was not found." found: .asciiz "\nThe target was found at array location " .text .globl main main: add $t0, $zero, $zero # [main] add $t1, $zero, $zero # addi $t2, $zero, 1 # addi $t3, $zero, 39 # add $t4, $zero, $zero # add $t5, $zero, $zero # add $t6, $zero, $zero # add $t7, $zero, $zero # la $t8, list read: addi $v0, $zero, 4 # [read] la $a0, prompt1 # syscall addi $v0, $zero, 5 # syscall sll $t7, $t0, 2 # add $t9, $t8, $t7 sw $v0, 0($t9) addi $t0, $t0, 1 # blt $t0, $t2, read # add $t0, $zero, $zero # search: add $t1, $zero, $zero search2: lw $t4, 0($t9) lw $t5, 1($t7) sgt $t7, $t4, $t5 sw $t4, 0($t9) sw $t5, 1($t9) add $t1, $t1, 1 blt $t1, $t3, search2 sub $t3, $t3, 1 add $t0, $t0, 1 blt $t0, $t2, search print: addi $v0, $zero, 1 # [print] sll $t7, $t0, 2 # add $t9, $t8, $t7 lw $a0, 0($t9) syscall addi $v0, $zero, 4 # la $a0, space # syscall addi $t0, $t0, 1 # ble $t0, $t2, print # end: addi $v0, $zero, 10 # [end] syscall I am now getting an error message, so I have made a bit of progress. Not quote sure what to make of this message I am getting with the runtime error saying : fetch address not aligned on word boundary 0x00000001
