i have written the following codes to implement the tower of hanoi
but it doesn't work properly.....
i have spent almost a week to find out the problem,
but i still don't know what's going on...
can any one can help me ???
Really Thanks for your kindly help!!


Below is my code :

.data
msg0: .asciiz "Enter number of disks:"
msg1: .asciiz "Move disk 1 from TOWER "
msg2: .asciiz "Move disk "
msg3: .asciiz " from TOWER "
msg4: .asciiz " to TOWER "
msg5: .asciiz "\n"

.text
.globl __start
__start:

Expected Ouptut :

Enter number of disks: 3
Move disk 1 from TOWER 1 to TOWER 3
Move disk 2 from TOWER 1 to TOWER 2
Move disk 1 from TOWER 3 to TOWER 2
Move disk 3 from TOWER 1 to TOWER 3
Move disk 1 from TOWER 2 to TOWER 1
Move disk 2 from TOWER 2 to TOWER 3
Move disk 1 from TOWER 1 to TOWER 3

I have a question for you. Did you try to debug your code with SPIM simulator? If answer is no then try it.
