A jmp statement?

Your explanations at the bottom look like a teacher wrote them. Nice attempt at a disguise. Either way, we don't do projects for people - post your attempt at a solution, then we'll guide you.

There will be a "carry over" if the result can't fit into a 32 bit integer, presumably, which will cause the carry flag to be set. Then you just need to check the carry flag, which will be 1 if there...

JW1234:

Binary code and machine code are the same thing.

...???

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Put it like this: since every architecture has it's own set of instructions, a compiler needs to be capable of breaking a high level language's...

Yes, since different architectures have different sets of instructions (instructions break down into machine code), different architectures would need a different compiler.

In response to the poster above me, no, Assembly is not machine language. Assembly is a language that is translated into machine code by the assembler. Programming languages are not OS dependent,...

Yeah, I know that. What I was saying is that if the C++ code was good to begin with, and the compiler optimized it well, whereas the assembly was poorly written....

I read about data forwarding and according to my notes, a nop (no-op) is required before a beq operation and after a lw operation. What about sw?

The person who posted above me is completely wrong. Assembly is faster than any other code if you use/code it correctly. It could be that the optimizations the compiler made for the C++ code were...
