Decimal to Binary Converter

A program that converts a decimal number to its binary representation. The converter includes both Java and MIPS assembly implementations.

Overview

This project provides a decimal-to-binary converter implemented in Java and MIPS assembly language. The goal is to convert a real number, including both the whole and fractional parts, into its binary representation.

Features

• Java Implementation: The dec2bin.java file contains the main program written in Java. It utilizes whole2bin.java and fractional2bin.java for converting the whole and fractional parts, respectively.

• MIPS Assembly Implementation: The dec2bin.s file provides the same functionality as the Java program but is implemented in MIPS assembly language. It includes subroutines such as whole2bin.s and fractional2bin.s.

Usage

Java Program

Compile and run the Java program as follows:

$ javac dec2bin.java
$ java dec2bin <whole> . <fractional> <precision>

Replace <whole>, <fractional>, and <precision> with appropriate values.

MIPS Assembly Program

Use the MIPS assembly program through the provided utility:

$ mips_subroutine dec2bin <whole> . <fractional> <precision>

Again, replace <whole>, <fractional>, and <precision> with appropriate values.

Files

1. dec2bin.java: Main Java program.
2. whole2bin.java: Java implementation for converting the whole part.
3. fractional2bin.java: Java implementation for converting the fractional part.
4. MIPS_OS_Interface.java: Java interface for interacting with MIPS assembly.
5. dec2bin.s: MIPS assembly implementation.
6. whole2bin.s: MIPS assembly implementation for converting the whole part.
7. fractional2bin.s: MIPS assembly implementation for converting the fractional part.

Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK) for compiling and running Java programs.
• MIPS assembly environment for running MIPS programs.
