Im new to MIPS and my friend practice program is a calculator, instead of allowing users to have 2 inputs(eg. 1 + 2 or 1 * 4) how do allow them to have 4 inputs (eg. 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 or 1 * 4 * 5 * 2). The code below is a working 2 input calculator how do I make it to 4?
#data
.data
prompt1: .asciiz "Type out your first number: "
prompt2: .asciiz "Type out your second number: "
prompt3: .asciiz "Type out your third number: "
prompt4: .asciiz "Type out your fourth number: "
menu: .asciiz "Now choose which of the operation you want do: 1 for add, 2 for subtract , 3 for multiply: "
resultText: .asciiz "Your final result is: "

you need to do asyscall
to let the program know you want to stop. That is why your program is falling off the bottom – FivePlyPaper
