a) In MIPS assembly, write an assembly language version of the following C code segment. At the beginning of the segment, the only values in registers are the base address of arrays A and B in registers $a0 and $a1.

b) Compilers can optimize loops to reduce memory operations (loads and stores) for performance. Implement more optimized version of the above loop in assembly language that uses fewer memory instructions.

int A[40, BI40]; for (i-1; i
