Introduction :

This lab focuses on handling exceptions related to input/output operations and floating-point
calculations in MIPS assembly language. By simulating common runtime errors, such as divide-by-zero
or invalid inputs, students will learn how to manage exceptions using MIPS system calls and exception
handling routines.

Lab Tasks

1. Write a program that multiplies two floating -point numbers


and prints the result.

2. Create an array of 5 floating-point numbers and calculate the


sum of all the elements in the

array and print the result.

3. Write a program that attempts to invoke an invalid syscall


number (one that is not

defined).

Conclusion :

In this lab, we successfully explored how MIPS handles exceptions during I/O and floating-point
operations. By implementing exception handling routines, we learned how to detect and manage
runtime errors, ensuring more reliable and robust program execution.
