#
#Program to demonstrate the use of an if statement.
#
# This example represents the following Java code:
# int x = 5, y = 9;
# if(x < y)
# {
#   System.out.println("x is less than y.");
# }
# System.out.println("After if statement.");
# where x is $t1 and y is $t2

	.data
	ifOutput: .asciiz "x is less than y.\n"
    afterIfOutput: .asciiz "After if statement.\n"
    
	.text
	main:
	
	li $t1, 5  #initialize x to 5
	li $t2, 9  #initialize y to 9
	
	slt $t3, $t1, $t2
	beq $t3, $zero, endif

	  li $v0, 4  #print if statement output
	  la $a0, ifOutput
	  syscall

	endif:
	
	li $v0, 4
	la $a0, afterIfOutput
	syscall
	
	li $v0, 10 #end the program
	syscall
