100 points, due Dec. 10, 1997

Simply, hand-compile the postfix.cc program on the class home page to the SPIM MIPS R2000 simulator. Demonstrate in person that your program runs. When you come in for your demonstration, bring a print-out of your program.

Ground rules:

1. Implement the following functions:

   int isEmpty(void);
   int isFull(void);
   void push(int item);
   int pop(void);
   int getValue(void);
   void compute(void);
   void output(void);
   void die(const char *s);
   int main();
   

2. Use mnemonic register names.

3. Adhere to the following MIPS conventions: call, register use, and memory use.

4. $t8 and $t9 may be used to permanently store the two external pointers ( stackPointer and next).

First milestone is Nov. 24: Lay-out the frame structure and write the bodies of the functions, save for main. Do not consider the call or return code for now.
