Write a program in MIPS assembly language that asks the user to input a string (or no more than 50 characters). Your program should then output the length of the string. The string length should be determined using a separate function strlen that will accept the address of the string and return its length. For the purposes of this exercise, the length of a string will be defined as the number of non-null and non-newline characters until either the null character (ASCII 0) or the newline character (ASCII 10) is encountered.

Thank you! And again, please do not copy and paste from here or google. I'm looking for a unique solution.
