MIPS to C

[mia023]

if i have the following MIPS code:
sll $t1,$s3,2
add $t1,$t1,$s6
lw $t0,0($t1)
bne $t0,$s5,Exit
Loop:
addi $s3,$s3,1
add $t1,$t1,4
lw $t0,0($t1)
beq $t0,$s5,Loop

Exit:

how should i write the c code of the following?
i seriously don't know how to convert from MIPS to C

You have to learn both MIPS and C then. There is no point in providing all the code for you.

is there any tutorial that you know that can help??

Google has lots of links to both MIPS and C tutorials.

Can you read MIPS assembler code? Start off by commenting the MIPS code snippet. What is it doing? What is the logical meaning of inputs used by the snippet; of outputs passed out of the snippet?

Once you know what the MIPS code does, write a C program that does the same thing. You should definitely NOT focus on translating each line of assembler into an equivalent line of C.

This little snippet of MIPS code doesn't stand alone. How do you get into it; how do you get out of it? Is this perchance an assembly language function called from a C program? If so, look at the context in the C program around where the MIPS function is called. That might give you a clue to what the snippet is supposed to do.
