count set bits from 0 to n now you're ready to work on the homework itself. your assignment is to implement a mips program that counts all set bits (the ones that are 1) in numbers from 1 to n (including n). specifically, your program asks a user to input an integer number and then outputs a number of set bits. for example, if the user enters 5, then if you look at binary representation of all the numbers from 0 to 5 and their bits:
