MIPS Word Count Project Guide

This project involves developing a MIPS assembly program that finds how many times words are used in a given statement. The program takes in two words from the user, searches a hardcoded sample statement for those words, and prints the number of occurrences of each word. It should not be case sensitive. A sample output is provided. The project is divided into code (80%) and report (20%) components. The report details the program design, registers and labels used, topics learned, test plan and results.

CSCE 212: Intro to Computer Architecture

Project 2 Code (80%)

Project Details
Purpose of this project is to increase your understanding of data, address, memory contents, and
strings. You are expected to use MIPS assembly language instructions, assembler directives and
system calls to handle string manipulation tasks. You are tasked to develop a program that finds
how many times a word is used in a given statement. To test your program, you should hardcode
the below sample statement in your code, and ask user to input two different words, such as
“Gamecocks” and “Football”, and then print the number of times these words are repeated in the
sample statement.

NOTE: Your program should NOT be case sensitive and regardless of how user types the words
(Uppercase, Lowercase, combination of uppercase and lowercase) it should correctly find the
corresponding words.

Sample Statement:
The South Carolina Gamecocks football program represents the University of South Carolina in
the sport of American football. The Gamecocks compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Eastern Division of the Southeastern
Conference. Will Muschamp currently serves as the team's head coach. They play their home
games at Williams-Brice Stadium. Currently, it is the 20th largest stadium in college football.

Sample Output:
Please input first word: Gamecocks (or gamecocks, or GAMEcocks , …)
Please input second word: Football (or FootBall, footBALL, …)
GAMECOCKS: 2
FOOTBALL: 4
