Bug Alert! To get the address in memory corresponding to a
symbolic address, use the la instruction.
The lw loads the value stored at that address.
In this program, register $s0 contains the
address of each node as it is visited.
So to start it out correctly use the la instruction.
la $s0,head
lw $s1,head
. . .
.data
head: .word 7
Which register, $s0 or $s1,
contains the value 7 after this fragment executes?
