Take user input and print a floating point array in MIPS - mips

Question

I need to take input from the user a floating point array and then print it. I tried the following code:-
.text
.globl main
main:
la $s0,size
lw $s1,0($s0) # size in $s1
ori $s2,$zero,0 # i in $s2
la $s3,arr # arr in $s3
li $v0,4
la $a0,msg1
syscall
L1:
beq $s2,$s1,DONE
li $v0,6
syscall
swc1 $f0,0($s3)
j UPDATE
UPDATE:
addi $s3,$s3,4
addi $s1,$s1,1
j L1
DONE:
li $v0,4
la $a0,msg2
syscall
la $t0,arr
ori $t1,$zero,0
L2:
beq $t1,$s1,EXIT
lwc1 $f20,0($t0)
li $v0,2
mov.s $f12,$f20
syscall
addi $t0,$t0,4
addi $t1,$t1,1
j L2
EXIT:
li $v0,10
syscall
.data
size: .word 9
arr: .float 0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0
msg1: .asciiz "Enter the elements:-"
msg2: .asciiz "The elements are:-"
When i give the input, there is a runtime exception 'invalid float input' at syscall 6. Please help!!!

Answer 1

I guess you are using , as the decimal point instead of ..
E.g.: instead of entering 3.14159 you are entering 3,14159 which is not expected at least by MARS.
Aside from that, I think the line addi $s1,$s1,1 in your code should be addi $s2,$s2,1, as you seem to be using $s2 to hold the current value of your index counter.
