The following MIPS code snippet implements a simple loop. Analyze the code

and answer the questions below:

li $t$0,0$

loop: beq $t$0,$ $s$0,$ end

addi $t$0,$ $t$0,1$

sll $t$1,$ $t$0,2$

add $t$2,$ $s$1,$ $t$1$

lw $t$3,0($$t$2)$

addi $t$3,$ $t$3,5$

sw $t$3,0($$t$2)$

j loop

end:

a$)$ Assuming $s$0$ holds the value $10,$ how many times will the loop iterate?

b$)$ Describe in words what this code does. What is the purpose of the sll

instruction?

c$)$ If $s$1$ contains the base address of an array named data, in Python, Java or

C$/$C$++$ please write the equivalent of the code inside the loop $($from addi

$t$0,$ $t$0,1$ to j loop$)?$
