Re: NAND

I'm playing with the MIPS assembly language. There is no NAND instruction
in the MIPS ISA, just AND, NOR, OR and XOR. How can I implement the NAND
operation efficiently using the present instructions?

You have AND, you have OR and you have NOR.
Maybe you also have NOT.
If you don´t, figure out how to emulate NOT using NOR or XOR.

This should be sufficient to find out _several_ ways of implementing
NAND.
