I'm having a hard time understanding why my MIPS program is not outputing the expected result. Please refer to the c++ code, followed is my version of mips

The C++ version:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int x[10] = {0};
int pos[10] = {-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1};
int d[10] = {73, 47, 23, 26, 67, 99, 13, 53, 1, 97};

int main() 
{

    int count = 0;
    int key = 24;
    for (int i=0; i<10; i++) 
    {
        if (d[i] >= key) 
        {
            pos[count] = i;
            x[count] = d[i];
            count++;
        }
    }

    for (int i=0; i<10; i++) 
    {
        if (pos[i] < 0)
            break;
            cout << pos[i] << " " << x[i] << endl;
    }

    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

The C++ code is giving me the expected result, was it your MIPS assembly which gives the problem?

I was actually able to figure out the problem. Mods please close the thread.

You might want to post the solution in case someone else has the same problem - it's up to you :)
