Question

How can a negative number be made positive in MIPS assembly?

Answer 1

To make a negative number positive in MIPS assembly, you can use the negation operator.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a negative number positive in MIPS assembly, you can use the negation operator. The negation operator changes the sign of a number. Here's an example:

1. Load the negative number into a register.
2. Use the negation instruction (neg) to change the sign of the number in the register.
3. The register now contains the positive version of the number.

For example, if you have the negative number -5 stored in register $t0, you can make it positive by using the instruction 'neg $t0, $t0'.
