a) you first need to find out MIPS Assembly code for the following C code. Write an efficient code; i.e. minimum number of instructions. Also, find out the number of instructions that would be executed.
 
… int multiply numbers(int a, int 

b)       {int i;         int product = 0;         for (i = 0; i != b; i = i + 1)             {product = product + a              }         return product;        } …
 
int main()       {int y;         y = multiplyNumbers(2,3);          …        }
