Assemblers are programs to translate an assembly file into a specific machine language. Most of the compilers and assemblers are written in C language. Since you are familiar with MIPS encoding syntaxes, I designed the following C project:

In this project, you will create a simple assembler program for the MIPS assembly language by using C programming language. Your program receives the source code filename $($for example mycode.asm$),$ translates each instruction into the machine code$($HEX or Binary$),$ and stores them with their associated address in an output file with the same name as the input file but with $.$obj extension.

For Simplicity, only consider the following MIPS instructions:

ADD, SUB, AND, OR $($R$-$type$)$

ADDI, ANDI, SLL $($I$-$Type$)$

BEQ, BNE $($I$-$type$)$

J $($J$-$type$)$

The source code in the input file can contain several instructions with different types, The target address of BEG, BNE, and J instructions are determined by labels in the source code.

The start Address of the program is $0$x$00400000$

For example consider the following source codeFor example consider the following source code

$.$ text

again: add $$11,$$$12,$$$23$

show: addi $$8,$$$7,-1234$

andi $$3,$$$7,127$

beq $$8,$$$10,$ show

bne $,$$$4,$$$6,x1$

sll $$17,$ $$18,4$

j again

the corresponding output file should contain the following Address and Code columns$($only$)$
