Due date: in two week.
Answer Sheet: Student ID: 150101075, Student Name: Kongara Jalandhar
In this homework, you are to write a MIPS assembly program and run the simulation on the
SimulatorsMARS, with detailed steps as below:

1. Write a MIPS assembly program to count the number of characters in a string, and report the
count thru syscall print function.
.data
string:

.asciiz "Hello CA1 Class"

.text
.globl Values
Values:
li
$s0, 0
# length = 1
la
$s1, string
# $s1 = string
Loop:
lb
$s2, 0($s1)
# pointer to the first letter
beqz $s2, done
# if length is zero stop the program
addi $s0, $s0, 1
# length = length + 1
addi $s1, $s1, 1
# pointer incrementing
j
Loop
done:
li
$v0, 1
# syscall code: print_int
move $a0, $s0
syscall

2. The string shall contain your full name starting from firstname, followed by middle name, and
ends with your last name. e.g. John Junior Smith
# part of the assembly program should contains the string as follows.
.data
.align 4
string: .asciiz "Kongara Jalandhar"
.text
.globl main
main:
li
la
syscall

$v0, 4
$a0, string

li
$v0,10
syscall

3. The program ce450_student_id_hw3.asm that counts the number of characters of the

exemplar string above, and print out the value using syscall. (student_id is the your student
id number). In the example above, the value should be 17.
Include the assembly program below as your answer.
.data
.align 4
string: .asciiz "Kongara Jalandhar"
.text
.globl Values
Values:
li
$s0, 0
# length = 1
la
$s1, string
# $s1 = string
Loop:
lb
$s2, 0($s1)
# pointer to the first letter
beqz $s2, done
# if length is zero stop the program
addi $s0, $s0, 1
# length = length + 1
addi $s1, $s1, 1
# pointer incrementing
j
Loop
done:
li
$v0, 1
# syscall code: print_int
move $a0, $s0
syscall

4. Take a screen shot and print a hard copy attached. . Fuzzy or unclear screen capture is not
acceptable and will render zero mark on the report. Screen capture should include the title bar
to show a unique directory to authenticate the students uniqueness computer, similar screen
captures will be asked to demonstrate in the class.
