Why MIPS?
Four popular assembly languages are currently available:
- MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipelined Stages),
- ARM (ARM (Advanced RISC Machine),
- MASM (The Microsoft Macro Assembler), and
- RISC (reduced instruction set computer).
The major reason that we use MIPS is because the textbook uses it.
Without using it, the textbook becomes difficult.

if you can prove that you don’t need it.”
