The program is supposed to store 5 user inputted numbers into an array. I tried to print the first value but it comes up as a large number which I assume is an address. How would I print the actual value of the number so that I know it saved correctly?
By the time you reach your printing code $s0 contains the address array + 4*5, so what you end up printing is the 32-bit number formed by the first four characters of the "enter number: " string.
To fix this, add an la $s0, array before you try to print the first element.
