 == QA1. What does MIPS stand for? ==
 A1. MIPS is an acronym for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages. It is a 32-bit, reduced instruction set architecture with MIPS-32 used as a 32-bit architecture and MIPS-64 used as a 64-bit architecture as the latest versions.
+== QA2. How can I download SPIM?  ==
+A2. SPIM can be downloaded from [[http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html|SPIM's website]] of Prof. James Lazarus.
+== QA3. Can you provide me with a sample SPIM program?  ==
+A3. Click on [[http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~asif/2021Fall10/multiply.s|multiply.s]] to download a program that multiplies two positive numbers and displays the result. A more advanced program [[http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~asif/2021Fall10/sum1toNv3.s|sum1toNv3.s]] that adds N numbers and displays the result is also available.

 == QB2. Is there a particular style that I must adopt in my programs? ==
-B2. Yes, you must follow the coding style described [[http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~asif/2021fall10/style.pdf|style.pdf]]. Following a coding style makes your code more readable and, hence, improves maintainability. Style will be taken into account when evaluating labtests.

-D5. Wait until you get your official grade by regular mail from York (nothing can be done before that). Within three weeks of receiving them, go to CSEB-1003 and request a copy of your final (lab)test. If you spot errors, either in marking, or in addition, or in the overall grade computation, petition by submitting a special form called [[http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~asif/2021fall10/reaptest.txt|"Request for Grade Reappraisal"]] available from CSEB-1003.
