Assignment: Write a complete MIPS program that implements the algorithm below (in C ). This algorithm calculates the factorial for the value of m. You should setup "m" as a variable in your program so that it is easy to change this value and rerun the program to get a different result. In case you are unsure of what a factorial is, it is the multiplication of an integer with all integers from 1 to that integer. One special case is the the value of zero factorial is 1. So, for 5 factorial (written as 5!), the value is 5*4*3*2*1

1. declare a constant named cents_per_pound and initialize with 25. 2. get the shipping weight from user input storing the weight into shipweightpounds. 3. using flat_fee_cents and cents_per_pound constants, assign shipcostcents with the cost of shipping a package weighing shipweightpounds.

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a, b,c, d sharing the medium. (a) stations a, b,c, d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful. when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?
