Compute the sum of N consecutive numbers

This is a sample MIPS assembler code to compute the sum of N consecutive numbers, where N is an integer entered by the user. The code is fully commented.

Launch EzMIPS, copy the following MIPS code and paste it into EzMIPS, the MIPS assembler editor & simulator. Assemble, Run.

# --- compute the sum of N consecutive integers: 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N --- #

.data

szNumbeOfIntegers: .asciiz "Enter number of integers (N): "
szSumIs:           .asciiz "Sum = "
szLF:              .asciiz "\n"
