Summary:: Count characterers in a string and display it in hexadecimal

[New user has been reminded to show their work on schoolwork problems]

Hi, how can I do this in MIPS?
Given a string of characters, the program has to count the number of characters in the string, and display it in hexadecimal.
Thank you!

1) Do you know how to count In MIPS?

2) Do you know how to look at each character in a string?

3) Do you know what character marks the end of a string?

4) Do you know about integers and how they are stored in memory?

5) If you look at a stored integer 4-bits at a time you can map it to a hex character.

To help here's a bunch of MIPS programming examples and there are many sites online with further examples. From them, you might methods of counting, accessing string characters, and displaying hex values.

Sadly, though we can't help you write your program, we can critique if you give a version and tell us why it's not working.
