Sample Program in Assembly Language

The program takes in a temperature in Celsius as user input, converts it to Fahrenheit by multiplying by 9, dividing by 5, and adding 32, and prints out the Celsius input and Fahrenheit output using appropriate registers and system calls to prompt for input, perform calculations, and display output on the terminal. Key registers include $v0 for input/output, $t0 for storing values, and $a0 for string pointers, with the conversion following the listed steps of reading input, multiplying, dividing, adding 32, and printing the results.

Assembly Language Sample Program

Write a program using assembly language to convert temperature in Celsius to Fahrenheit and
print the results.
List of registers:
v0 - reads in Celsius temperature from the keyboard
t0 - holds Fahrenheit result
a0 - points to output strings

Please use the following steps as a guideline:


1. print prompt "Enter Temperature (Celsius): " on terminal
2. reads an integer
3. to convert, multiply by 9
4. then divide by 5, and
5. add 32 to complete the conversion
6. print string "The temperature in Fahrenheit is " before result
7. print result
8. system call to print out a new line "\n"

end program

Source Code:

# v0 - reads in Celsius temperature from the keyboard


# t0 - holds Fahrenheit result
# a0 - points to output strings

.data
newline: .asciiz "\n"
promptInput: .asciiz " Enter temperature (Celcius) :"
promptOutput: .asciiz " The temperature in Fahrenheit is "

.text
main:

# 1. Get the temperature (celcius) from user, put into $t0.


la $a0 ,promptInput # load the message
li $v0, 4 # Print the message
syscall # make the syscall
li $v0, 5 # load syscall read_int into $v0.
syscall # make the syscall.
move $t0, $v0 # move the number read into $t0.

# 2. Multiply by 9, put into $t0.


mul $t0, $t0, 9 # t0 = t0 * 9

# 3. Divide by 5, put into $t0.


div $t0, $t0, 5 # t0 = $t0/5

# 4. Add 32, put into $t0.


addi $t0, $t0, 32 # t0 = t0 +32
# 5. Now print out the result
la $a0 ,promptOutput # load the output message
li $v0, 4 # Print the message
syscall # make the syscall
move $a0,$t0 # We put the result in a0
li $v0, 1 # Integer print system call
syscall # make the syscall

# 6. Now print out the newline


la $a0, newline # Load the string address
li $v0, 4 # String print syscall
syscall # make the syscall

# 7. Now exit
li $v0, 10 # Exit syscall
syscall # make the syscall
