MIPS Converter

This application is a conversion tool that converts assembly instructions to binary and hexadecimal values, as well as the other way around.

Description

Basically, there are 3 types of conversions in this app:

1. Instruction => Binary & Hexadecimal
2. Binary => Instruction & Hexadecimal
3. Hexadecimal => Instruction & Binary

This is a helpful tool for any Computer Science student who will definetely have a class that will teach them about the low level Assembly Language and how one is able to encode an instruction into a binary value, as well as to decode a binary value to an instruction.

To enter correct inputs, these are some helpful tips:

Entering an Instruction

I wanted to make entering an instruction very simple. To enter an instruction:

• For registers, do not put the dollar sign ($), just type the register itself. For example, instead of '$t1', enter 't1'.
• For an immediate, enter a number.
• Please enter only one whitespace between elements. Do 't1 t2 t3', not 't1 t2 t3'.
• No commas neccessary, just spaces between elements.
• An instruction like 'addu $s1, $t1, $t2' would be entered in this application like this: 'addu s1 t1 t2'.

Entering a Binary Value

• Enter 32 0s and 1s. Just like a real instruction converted to binary, the length of the input should be 32.

Entering a Hexadecimal Value

• Value must include only numbers and/or characters from A to F.
