Problem1Problem1Write a function MinMax(&X, N) to find the minimum and maximum of an array X of N integers. The address of the array is passed in $a0, and the number of words in the array is passed in $a1. The minimum and maximum are returned in registers $v0 and $v1 respectively.

Also, write a short main program that 1. Prompts user to enter 10 integers one by one to fill a

global integer array X of size 102. Calls the MinMax function to find and return the

minimum and maximum of the array X.3. Prints the minimum and the maximum value.

Problem2Problem2Implement the recursive function sillymultiply() given below in the MIPS assembly language. int sillymultiply(int x, int y) { int ret; if (y == 1) return x; ret = x + sillymultiply(x, y-1); return ret; }Also, write a short main function that prompts the user to enter the integers x and y calls the sillymultiply() function to compute x*y and prints the value returned by the sillymultiply(x,y) function.

Some Key PointsSome Key Points• Read an integer from standard input

li $v0, 5 # Read_int system service

syscall # Read xmove $t0, $v0 # $t0 = $v0 = result of read = x
