a)What does this sequence represent?

0010 0100 1001 0010 0100 1001 0010 0100

I. A single precision floating point number.

II. a MIPS instruction.

b) Translate the following C code fragment to MIPS assembly instructions.

if (i==j)

{

a[i] = b[j];

}

else

{

a[i] = b[j+1];

}

Assume the starting address of array a[ ] and b[ ] are in $20 and $21 respectively, and index i and j map to $5 and $6 registers.
