# CS 447 Spring 2009 - Exam 1, Sample problem 8
	#
	# 8. Write MIPS code that prints "The bit is 0" 
	# when bit 15 in $t0 is 0 and prints "The 
	# bit is 1" when bit 15 in $t0 is 1.
	#
	# mips6.asm lecture example is similar, except the
	# answer to this problem needs a little control
	# flow and printing of messages.
