C code understandings conversion to assembly (MIPS)

So now just add in a counter.

Why are you using such a stupid function? It's just:

Code:

---

void f(int a) {
    return a >= 1 ? 1 : a;
}

---

How to add counters

Code:

---

int divide(int a)
{
    numcalls++;
    if (a > 1) {
          return divide (a/2);
                  }
    return a;
}

int divide(int a)
{
    for( ; a > 1 ; a /=2 ) {
        numloops++;
    }
    return a;
}

Thanks John , kindly why it's like this? I didn't get how my recursive function is equivalent to what you suggested .. could you illustrate please how it's same as my recursive function?
