MIPS Exponent Function

Description: Write a pow(x, y) function in MIPS assembly, such that pow(x,y) computes x^y.

To receive full credit, your program should meet all of the following criteria:

• A main function that:
  • Prompts the user for a number and an exponent
  • Calls pow using the jal instruction
  • Display return value from the pow(x, y) function
• A pow(x, y) function that:
  • Computes the proper result based on input parameters
  • Returns properly using the jr instruction
• Overall, the program should:
  • Follows MIPS register usage conventions
  • Contain code that is organized, easy to read, and properly commented

Some example output is shown below:

Enter Number: 2
Enter Exponent: 0
Result: 1

Enter Number: 3
Enter Exponent: 3
Result: 27

Enter Number: 5
Enter Exponent: 3
Result: 125
