Write a sequence of MIPS assembly instructions that does the identical operation.

Use the registers $t0 and $s0 for holding the values of the variables i and m, respectively.

As usual, assume that $s0 has its own value before the function max is called, thus this value must be saved on stack (given by the register $sp) during the execution of the function max.

Note: the ?rst argument, the second argument, the return value and the return address are in $a0, $a1, $v0 and $ra, respectively.
