Last-minute reminder regarding assignment four question 6:
You can't change the values of registers in your interrupt service routine.
Remember that the main program doesn't know when it's going to get
interrupted. You have to save and restore any registers you want to use.
Like in a subroutine, except that it also applies to R0.

There are TA office hours leading up to the
assignments and the mid-term.
