title: Mips or bitwise
body: <p>Assuming that <code>$z0</code> is a register which always contains the number zero.</p>
  
  <p>Then the MIPS instruction <code>OR $t0, $t1, $t2</code> puts the bitwise <code>OR</code> of <code>$t1</code> and <code>$t2</code> into the register <code>$t0</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Suppose that the register <code>$t2</code> contains the number "5".  What is in the register <code>$t0</code> after the execution of the instruction or $t0, $z0, $t1</p>
  
  <p>This was a question in a mock exam paper but I'm confused as to how to work it out.  I really need help please.  How would I go about solving it? I'm having trouble figuring out the value of t1 I know how bitwise OR works </p>
