convert c programm to mips assembly

i'd like some help cause i'm new to assembly language
i have this program in c and i have to convert it to assembly language

Code:

---

int R[100];
char S[100,100];

int process(int rows) {
int i;

for (i=0;i<rows;i++) {
tmp=strlen(&S[i])):
R[i]=tmp;
if (tmp==0) return i;
}

return i;
}

---

this function processes a 2x2 matrix char S and finds the length of the strings that exists in each row.a string in C language end with the byte 0.the result is stored in table R. use registers where you can.thnx for help

Actually you don't have a c program... not yet anyway... There are at least 2 syntax errors that will stop it from compiling.

actually i don't want to compile it...this exercise was in an exam exactly as i gave it ...i only have to write the assembly code

I guess the point is, you can have the compiler do it for you.

you are right but i don't have a compiler to do this.thnx anyway

Can you give it a try? Surely you have some class notes or books to reference. I'll give you a hint. You need nested loops. Google turned up some decent examples of loops in assembly. Translating from whatever assembly to MIPS shouldn't be too difficult. Also, this is probably not the best place, since this is a C forum. I'm not, and suspect few on this board are, experts in MIPS assembly.

thnx for the advice but as i said i'm not good at all in assembly.thnx anyway for the hint,i'll give it a shot

You have access to the internet. You can have a free compiler in 10 minutes or less...

If you are using MSVS it has a feature to change platform targets and I believe one of the many available is MIPS.

Select the project from the solution explorer and right click. From there it is Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->Advanced->Target machine

MIPS is in the list of supported targets.
