$($Q$\mathrm{.}3)$ Strings

Implement a count $($string$,$ x$)$ procedure in MIPS Assembly, which, given a string and

a character x $,$ outputs $($in the terminal$/$console$)$ the number of occurrences of x in the

string. The procedure will take the following arguments:

the address of the string $-$ string;

the character to look for $-$ x $.$

For example, for the string "loop", if the character to look for is the character $\text{'}o\text{'},$ the

output should be the integer $2.$

Simulate your program in the SPIM MIPS simulator, following step$-$by$-$step changes in

memory and registers.
