Answer 1

@mjshultz

i've changed it up a little. Didnt think i needed 2 loops. Also i've increment it by four because i thought each character is 4 bytes so to go to the next letter i need to increment the offset by four.

        .data   # Data declaration section
userString: .space 256
Prompt:     .asciiz "\nEnter a word: "
newSpace:   .asciiz " " 
newLine:    .asciiz "\n"

    .text


main:       # Start of code section
li $v0, 4
la $a0, Prompt
syscall


la $a0, userString
li $a1, 256
li $v0, 8
    syscall

la $a0, userString
move $s0, $a0

loop:   
lb $t1, 0($s0)
li $v0, 1
move $a0, $t1
syscall 

li $v0, 4
la $a0, newSpace
syscall 
addi $s0, $s0, 4

blt $s0, 256, loop
