So, I'm currently learning MIPS for my Uni degree and I've came across a syntax error that is bugging me, I can't seem to put my finger on where I went wrong, my piece of code is one where a user enters two numbers, and the console is supposed to return a set of numbers that are incremented and finish printing due to the two numbers the user inputs, I'm currently getting a syntax error on PCSpim, which says "spim: (parser) syntax error on line 55 of file" line 55 is addi $t0, $t0, $t2 of the code I'm going to send, if anyone could point me in the general direction of where to fix this it'll be great.
.data
text: .asciiz "Enter any number: "
message: .asciiz " After while loop is done "
str: .asciiz "Enter a number to add: "
newline: .asciiz "\n"
space: .asciiz ","
.text
main:
# Printing out the text
li $v0, 4
la $a0, text
syscall
# Getting user input
li $v0, 5
syscall
# Moving the integer input to another register
move $t1, $v0
# Printing out the newline
li $v0, 4
la $a0, newline
syscall
# Printing out the text
li $v0, 4
la $a0, str
syscall
# Getting user input
li $v0, 5

# Moving the integer input to another register
move $t2, $v0
# Printing out the newline
li $v0, 4
la $a0, newline
syscall
# i = 0
addi $t0, $zero, 0
while:
bgt $t0, $t1, exit
jal printNumber
addi $t0, $t0, $t2
j while
exit:
li $v0, 4
la $a0, message
syscall
#End of program
li $v0, 10
syscall
printNumber:
la $v0, 1
add $a0, $t0, $zero
syscall
li $v0, 4
la $a0, space
syscall
jr $ra
It looks like addi needs the third value to be an immediate vale not a register ... if it is a register it should be add
