This was thrown on me very last minute and I am SO confused. I've been working on this for hours with no luck. I need a VERY basic and simple MIPS assembly language program that finds the range of some arbitrary integers. Meaning given an arbitrary number of values, find the smallest, largest and then find the difference.

The ONLY commands I know/can use so far are:

lw, sw, addi, add, sub, mul, beq, bne, j label, slt, blt, ble, bgt, and bge

I cannot use an array or any type of data file. I'm only doing basic stuff right now.

The simulator I use to write these programs is in the attached picture.
