Problem:

Convert to MIPS instructions the following expression a = b ^ 17; // ^ means b to the power of 17 The address of a is stored in $s0, the address of b is stored in $s1. - the only arithmetic operations you can use are additions (no multiplications) - your answer should have not more than 12 instructions. - ignore the possibility of overflow Hint: you can arrange fast b^17 computation using the fact that 17 = 16 + 1. And 16 = 2^4
