 1 ## compute the factorial of 5, and return the result in the exit code
 2 #
 3 # Uses syntax sugar for:
 4 #   rm32 operands
 5 #   function calls
 6 #   control flow
 7 #
 8 # To run:
 9 #   $ ./translate_subx init.linux [01]*.subx apps/factorial4.subx
10 #   $ ./a.elf
11 # Expected result:
12 #   $ echo $?
13 #   120
14 #
15 # You can also run the automated test suite:
16 #   $ ./a.elf test
17 # Expected output:
18 #   ........
19 # Every '.' indicates a passing test. Failing tests get a 'F'.
