MIPS: Study "this supplied program" and fill in the missing code as indicated (via comments).
IMPORTANT: As indicated in the program's comments:
You ARE to write no more than certain number of lines of code as indicated. (One instruction per line, and there will be penalty if your code consumes more lines.)
Your code MUST use only instructions that are allowed (i.e., only bit manipulating instructions).

You MUST NOT in any way change the lines of code already written.

# Insert NO MORE THAN 7 lines of code that involve ONLY

# bit manipulating instructions (ANDing, ORing, XORing,

# NORing and shifting - only whatever that are needed)

# so that the program will work just like the sample runs

# shown at the bottom (some blank lines edited out).

# HINT: Risking telling the obvious, the instructions you

# insert are related to bringing the value in $a0

# from the initial value of 0 to the final desired

# value (which should be either 0, 1, 2 or 3 when

# printed as an integer).

# You MUST test your completed program for AT LEAST the

# test cases shown (and include the result in hardcopy).
