I am using QtSpim 9.9.1 to write my Computer Architecture course homework i had a syntax error when use div.s operator but it's OK when I use div. Another error appears when try to get float from user but it also disappears when get integer. Here is my code :
.text
main:
# Print "This program solves an equation of style a*x + c = 0, print out the result on console."
la $a0, hello_msg # load the address of hello_msg into $a0.
li $v0, 4 # 4 is the print_string syscall.
syscall # do the syscall.
# Print "Enter (a) value please :"
la $a0, enter_a_msg # load the address of enter_a_msg into $a0.
li $v0, 4 # 4 is the print_string syscall.
syscall # do the syscall.
## Get (a) from user, put into $t0.
li $v0, 6 # load syscall read_float into $v0.
syscall # make the syscall.
move $t0, $f0 # move the number read into $t0.////////here got error//////
# Print "Enter (c) value please :"
la $a0, enter_c_msg # load the address of enter_c_msg into $a0.
li $v0, 4 # 4 is the print_string syscall.
syscall # do the syscall.
## Get (c) from user, put into $t1.
li $v0, 6 # load syscall read_float into $v0.
syscall # make the syscall.
move $t1, $f0 # move the number read into $t1.///////also here
# Compute (x), put into $t2.
neg $t3, $t1 # get -c into $t3.
div.s $t2, $t3, $t0 # get x = -c / a into $t2.//// also here Error
# Print "Value of (x) is :"
la $a0, result_msg # load the address of result_msg into $a0.
li $v0, 4 # 4 is the print_string syscall.
syscall # do the syscall.
# Print (x) value .
move $a0, $t2 # move (x) value into $a0.
li $v0, 1 # load syscall print_int into $v0.
syscall # make the syscall.
li $v0, 10 # 10 is the exit syscall.
syscall # do the syscall.
# Data for the program:
.data
hello_msg: .asciiz "This program solves an equation of style a*x + c = 0,\nprints out the result on console.\n"
enter_a_msg: .asciiz "Enter (a) value please :"

move $t0, $f0
To convert a floating-point register to an integer and move it to a general-purpose register you should use something like this:
cvt.w.s $f0, $f0
mfc1 $t0, $f0
If you wanted to move $f0
to another floating-point register you should use e.g.:
mov.s $f1,$f0
div.s $t2, $t3, $t0
div.s
works with floating-point registers ($f0
-$f31
), not with the general-purpose registers ($an
, $tn
, $vn
and so on). Refer to the MIPS floating-point instruction set list.
