#DoWhileExample.asm
#An example of a do-while loop using slt and bne
#
# This example represents the following Java code:
# int i = 0, n = 10;
# do
# {
#   i++;
#   System.out.println(i);
# } while (i < n);
#
# where i is $t1 and n is $t2

	.data
	newLine: .asciiz "\n"

	.text
	main:
	
	li $t1, 0   #initialize i to zero
	li $t2, 10  #initialize n to ten
	
	do:

	  #do loop operations
	  addi $t1, $t1, 1 #increment i

	  li $v0, 1  #print i or $t1
	  move $a0, $t1  #copy contents of $t1 into $a0
	  syscall

	  li $v0, 4  #print a newline character
	  la $a0, newLine
	  syscall

	slt $t3, $t1, $t2  #compare i to n
	bne $t3, $zero, do #keep going if i < n
	
	li $v0, 10 #end the program
	syscall
