Lab 8 - Procedures - Functions

This document contains examples and exercises for writing procedures in Pascal, C, and Assembly languages. It provides an example procedure to calculate power (x^y) by taking in parameters x and y, initializing a result variable to 1, and using a loop to repeatedly multiply the result by x until the loop counter i reaches y. It then returns the result. The document also lists exercises for students to write procedures to calculate other mathematical functions like minimum/maximum of numbers, factorial, square checking, and GCD.

LAB 8
Procedures/Functions
1/ Procedure Format
Example:
Pascal:
proceduce <ProceduceName>(variables)
Begin
<Code here>;
End;

C: <ReturnType> function <functionName>(variables)


{
<Code here>;
}

Assembly:
.globl <ProcedureName>
.ent <ProcedureName>
ProcedureName:
<code here>
.end <ProcedureName>

Calling procedure should use the "jal <ProcedureName>" instruction (jal = jump and link)

The return from procedure is as follows: jr $ra #$ra contains the return address

Example: Write a program to calculate the power (x^y), return the result to the
variable answer = power(x,y).

.data
x: .word 2
y: .word 3
answer: .word 0
.text
.globl main
main:
lw $a0, x
lw $a1, y

# call procedure
jal power
sw $v0,answer

# print answer
li $v0,1
lw $a0,answer
syscall

#thoát
li $v0,10
syscall
.end main

# procedure
.globl power
.ent power
power:
li $t0,0 # i=0
li $v0,1 # result = 1

powLoop:
mul $v0,$v0,$a0 # result = result * x
addi $t0,$t0,1 # i=i+1
blt $t0,$a1,powLoop # if i<y then powLoop
jr $ra # $ra contains the return address
.end power
