mips: 32(sp) -- meaning?

hi,

could someone tell me what this syntax means in MIPS assembly?

sw s0,32(sp)

i know that sw means store the 32bit word in s0 in the stack pointer sp...but what does 32(sp) mean?

thanks,
ashlesha.

32 is the offset from sp. This opcode will load the word at +32 bytes away from sp into s0.
