How to translate C++ pseudocode to MIPS assembly language instruction

[elijah godfrey]

(Can you translate this C++ pseuodoce to MIPS language
instruction?)

CountBits

# int count bits(int a0)
{
vo=0;
while (a0){
v0+= a0&1 > add $v0
a0 >> =1, > srav $a0,$a0,$at
}
return 0;

}

The easiest way is to compile that program on a MIPS cross-compiler and capture the assembly output. On some compilers (for example, gcc) this is accomplished with the -S command line argument [I think].
