Below is code written in comments explaining what needs to be done. Convert the following code into MIPS with C code as the comments. It is easiest for you if you first convert to C then into MIPS.

if (j < 0x80) {

// j fits in 7 bits, expand to 8 bits

// n = j

} else if (j <= 0x7FF) {

// j fits in 11 bits, expand to 16 bits

// b = low 6 bits of j

// a = next 5 bits of j

// n = 110 a 10 b

// 5 6 bits in

// j = aaaaa bbbbbb

// 3 5 2 6 bits out

// n = 110 aaaaa 10 bbbbbb

} else if (j <= 0xFFFF) {

// j fits in 16 bits, expand to 24 bits

// c = low 6 bits of j

// b = next 6 bits of j

// a = next 4 bits of j

// n = 1110 a 10 b 10 c

// 4 6 6 bits in

// j = aaaa bbbbbb cccccc

// 4 4 2 6 2 6 bits out

// n = 1110 aaaa 10 bbbbbb 10 cccccc

} else if (j <= 0x10FFFF) {

// j fits in 21 bits, expand to 32 bits

// d = low 6 bits of j

// c = next 6 bits of j

// b = next 6 bits of j

// a = next 3 bits of j

// n = 11110 a 10 b 10 c 10 d

// 3 6 6 6 bits in

// j = aaa bbbbbb cccccc dddddd

// 5 3 2 6 2 6 2 6 bits out

// n = 11110 aaa 10 bbbbbb 10 cccccc 10 dddddd

} else {

// j is outside the UTF-8 range of character codes

// n = 0xFFFFFFFF

}
