Write an MIPS assembly language program to calculate the sum of A and B, assuming they are stored using the format described in 3.11.1. Now modify the program to calculate the sum assuming the format described in 3.11.3. Which format is easier for a programmer to deal with? How do they each compare to the IEEE 754 format? (Do not worry about sticky bits for this question.)

The following table shows pairs of decimal numbers.
