Question: Problem 1 ## Complete the following procedure so that it returns the value of a bit from a# bit vector that spans one or more

Problem 1## Complete the following procedure so that it returns the value of a bit from a# bit vector that spans one or more bytes. Register `$a0` holds the start# address of the bit vector and register `$a1` holds the bit number to retrieve.# The most-significant bit of the first byte is bit number 0(remember that MIPS# is big-endian). The return value (i.e., the value of the register $v0) should# be set to 0 or 1.# For example, a 16-bit bit vector is specified in the assembler below starting# at the label bit_vector_start:# bit_vector_start:# .byte 0xc5,0x1f# In binary this would be 1100010100011111. If getbit were called with $a1=0# then bit number zero, meaning the leftmost bit in 11000101000111112, should# be returned and so $v0=1. For $a1=2 a 0 should be returned.# When you run the code in hw1.s a testbench routine will call getbit several# times. For each call the testbench will print the value returned by getbit# (meaning the value of $v0), whether that value is correct, and if wrong, the# correct value. At the end it will print the number of incorrect values# returned by getbit, which hopefully will be zero when you are done.# It is important that each line of code is commented succinctly with enough# clarity so anyone can follow the logic behind your code. Again writing comment# is part of the solution, code without sufficient comments even if it is# correct, will only receive half of the grade.
