katsterHere I am, attempting to figure out the MIPS stack and bubblesorts for a program due Wednesday. I was going to spend all weekend on the problem, but I woke up Saturday morning with the flu I've been whining about, and spent all weekend with it. I'm feeling a bit better today, but not totally.
It's not like it's difficult, it's just dealing with two new paradigms of programming that we never had in Scheme. You didn't need a stack in scheme, you just recursed and recursed, and cursed a bit too. And I don't recall...wait I second, I do. It's just a hell of a lot easier when everything's a list and you could car and cdr to your heart's delight.
I miss car and cdr. They were friendly.
Anyway, I need to figure out how to bubblesort and stuff before Wednesday. Anybody wanna help?

What kind of stack ops do you have available (do you have ROLL/ROLLD?)
I'm kinda used to working on a stack... all hail the HP48, it teaches RPN and stack programming. =9
