I remember a discussion we had concerning passing arguments to 
functions.  The following question and answer concerns a MIPS (RISC) 
computer.

It looks like both sides were correct.


Q:  What are registers $a0 - $a3  used for ?


A:  
 These registers are used to pass the first 4 arguments
 to routines.  Any subsequent arguments are passed on
 the stack.

 Registers  $v0  and  $v1  are used to return values from functions.
