Rewrite the program to use a procedure for the conversion. In other words, if you send \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdapple\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd to the procedure it will return \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAPPLE\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. Leave the rest of the code in<\/p>\n
main. Test it on the source strings: \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdloop2:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdElephant!\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd In other words, code in your main program calls the procedure twice, once for each source string. You<\/p>\n
should print a memory screen shot after the program runs, showing that both strings were converted \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd check the ASCII box.<\/p>\n
You should add code to check if each byte is in fact a lowercase letter, and only convert if it is; otherwise it should just copy it.<\/p>\n
In the program you could use $tn registers but in this program you should follow the conventions for using $sn and $tn registers.<\/p>\n
Also, use the directive .space for the upper case strings, reserving at least 10 bytes for each of the 2 upper strings.<\/p>\n

1. Single-step through your program through the first subroutine call and back, then answer the following questions. Copy a-g below and paste your answers\/screen<\/p>\n
shot here.<\/p>\n
a. What is the value of PC before you execute the jal?<\/p>\n
b. What is the value of $ra before you execute the jal?<\/p>\n
c. Set a breakpoint to the jr instruction and run until then. What is the value of PC before the jr?<\/p>\n
d. Single step back to the main program. What address is in the next instruction?<\/p>\n
e. What value is in the PC?<\/p>\n
f. Write a 2-3 sentence summary describing how the PC and $ra registers change when a subroutine is called and when we return from a subroutine.<\/p>\n
