title: What does this MIPs code mean?
body: <p>I'm struggling to find a good site that explains MIPS and how it works.</p>
  
  <p>The code I am trying to understand is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SW 7000(R0),R1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know SW means save word and that it is saving the value of R1 to memory address 7000. What is the point of (R0)? What does it do?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a good resource for problems I run into similar to this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
