'Using binary numeric constants in MIPS asm source code?
On the process of learning Assembly i got one question
If i do the following:
la $a1, 0x3f
The number 63 is loaded into a1.
And if I use a constant without a leading 0x it's decimal, giving the same result:
la $a1, 63
But how can I handle binary? Lets say
la $a1, 00111111
How can MIPS understand that 00111111 is the number 63 in binary?

Binary literal constants are not typically supported. What assembler are you using? If it supports C style preprocessing, there are several options available.
Here is one example.
