below is the minmax.asm , In which, you can treat the array as a fixed sequence of numbers (signed). This could include a 0.

Question 2: Minimum and maximum value (30 marks) Write a MIPS subroutine, minmax', that has two input arguments: a pointer to a 1D array (i.e., the address of its first element), and the length of the array. Each element of the array is a 32 bit word representing a signed integer. The subroutine should traverse the array and should return the value of both the largest and the smallest numbers in the array. Include a 'main' procedure to test this subroutine. For this, you can create an array of a fixed length, and initialize it as you wish, using hard-coded values. Print the minimum and maximum values using the appropriate syscalls. You are given a template minmax.asm file to work with. * This program illustrates the exercise of finding the maximum and minimum values in an array. # The array in this example has hardcoded initial values. # The subroutine 'minmax' should return the minimum and maximum values # in the array, using appropriate registers. # The 'main' program should test the subroutine and should print the results using syscalls for printing. # Feel free to add additional entries as you need them in the text or .data segments. # Make sure that your 'main' program terminates gracefully. # Be sure to comment your code.
