How can I apply MIPS assembly language instructions, assembler directives and system calls sufficient enough to handle string manipulation tasks. to develop a program that finds how many times a word is used in a given statement. For example in the below sample statement I want to ask user to input two different words, which are UCF and KNIGHTS .

Sample Statement:

UCF, its athletic program, and the university's alumni and sports fans are sometimes jointly referred to as the UCF Nation, and are represented by the mascot Knightro. The Knight was chosen as the university mascot in 1970 by student election. The Knights of Pegasus was a submission put forth by students, staff, and faculty, who wished to replace UCF's original mascot, the Citronaut, which was a mix between an orange and an astronaut. The Knights were also chosen over Vincent the Vulture, which was a popular unofficial mascot among students at the time. In 1994, Knightro debuted as the Knights official athletic mascot.

Sample Output:

KNIGHT: --- 6

UCF: -------- 3
