# File: TriangleWithLoop.asm
# Purpose:  This program prompts a user to enter 3 positive integers and reports whether or not they form a triangle.
# Simulator:    Mars 4.5
# Operating
# System:   macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 (Maddie)  + Debian 9 Stretch (Jacob)  + Windows 8.1 (Jacob)
#               (SO basically this should work on literally any operating system... *BSD untested but we're sure it works

.data  # Output Variables

# Prompt user for input
prompt:     .asciiz "Enter 3 positive integers by pressing <enter> after each: "

# New Line
newline:    .asciiz "\n"

# Invalid Input Response
error:      .asciiz "Invalid Input!\n"

# Separator Line
format:     .asciiz "*************************************************************************\n"

# Prompt user to input another triangle
continue:   .asciiz "Do you want to test more integers? (Type 0 to quit, 1 to run again.): "

# Lengths do not form a triangle
nope:       .asciiz "These integers do NOT form a triangle.\n"

# Lengths do form a triangle
yes:        .asciiz "These integere DO form a triangle.\n"
