MIPS Radix Converter

Overview

This project implements a MIPS-based radix converter that converts numbers from Decimal to various bases. The converter is developed in MIPS assembly language and executed using QtSpim. Completed as part of the COMP2421 course at the HKPolyUHong Kong Polytechnic University.

Features

• Converts numbers from Decimal to binary, quaternary and octal bases.
• Supports both positive and negative integers.
• Handles invalid inputs gracefully.

What I learned

Writing a simple program in assembly was quite a challenge. Compared to high-level languages like Java or Python, I realized how tricky even basic logic could get in MIPS. That said, completing this project was both rewarding and enjoyable.
