The assignment is to create a MIPS program that demonstrates that the associative law fails in addition for floating point numbers (single or double precision). You only need to demonstrate it for single precision. Remember the associative law is a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c. The key is to have two of the number large (one positively and one negatively but equal in magnitude) floating point numbers and the third floating point number very small in comparison. ***Please make sure you include comments in every field*** Note: make sure the program operats and doesnt run with errors like: operand is of incorrect type or not formatted
