Homework #1 -- due Wed Jan 18

This is a fairly easy warm-up assignment, but you will have to read the text to find material not covered in lecture. Do the following exercises:

(2.2 from book) What binary number does this hexadecimal number represent: 7fff fffa_hex? What decimal number does it represent? (If needed, here is help with hex)
(2.3 from book) What hexadecimal number does this binary number represent: 1100 1010 1111 1110 1111 1010 1100 1110_two
Assume variables a, b, and c are assigned registers $s1, $s2, and $s3, and the address of array X is in $s6. Write the code for the following:
1. ```
 b = A[1] - A[2]; 
```
2. ```
 b = A[2 * c];    
```

General homework requirements

Every assginment (homework/lab/project) must have a completed coversheet stapled to the front of your assignment. This is worth 10% of your grade.
Collaboration is encouraged per course policy, but you are required to document who you worked with on your cover sheet.
Show your work. A number alone is never an answer.
Be sure to use the third edition of the textbook -- problems are similar but not the same as the second edition!
