HW 2 - MIPS Test Cases

[Beau Osborne]

Test Case results:
choose(10, 2) = 45
choose(3, 2) = 3
choose(17,17) = 1
choose(4, 1) = 4
choose(1, 0) = 1
--------------------
choose(100,50) = 0 (error code --> [Breakpoint] Occurred and Ignored)
Any ideas on what might be causing this error?

Also, if anyone has any other results to the program that they can post that
would be great.

if you type into google "n choose k" it will give you answers to check
against

well 100 choose 50 is ~ 1 X 10 ^29 a number much larger than can be
stored by even the hi+lo 64 bit answer for multiply unless perhaps we
used FP math instead?
