}

Something like this should compile using gcc:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) {
int n=1;

while(n > 1) {
if(n % 2 == 0) {
n = n/2;
} else {
n = (3*n)+1;
}
}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Answer 13

@Lyrae how can i run this code? is it possible to use marie_cpu_simulator?

Answer 14

The code above is written in C and can be translated to GNU assembly using one of the links. The resulting assembly code probably won't run on the MARIE Simulator since the GNU syntax is different from the MARIE syntax, but trying anyway won't hurt nobody ;)

Assuming you're using MARIE to learn about basic processor concepts such as instruction flow, then a C to assembly translator will make things harder to understand because it usually adds a lot of unnecessary instructions.

Answer 15

@Lyrae did you run program you gave me?

Answer 16

Nope not in MARIE, but it worked using a GNU assembly compiler.

Oh and there should be another line above the "return EXIT_SUCCESS;" the program won't output otherwise:

printf("%4.4f\n ",n);
