MIPS ASCIIZ with \n bytes size?

Question

According the following link, the size of "Hello" is 6 because of the null at the end (because its asciiz).

MIPS: Size of .asciiz?

But what would be the size of "Hello\n"

8 or 7?

is \n considered as 1 byte or 2 bytes?

Answer 1

This code gives you the length of the of arbitrary string.Using MARS-simulator it will gives you the length of 5 for Hello and 6 for Hello\n

This means that the size of \n is 1 byte and the size of Hello\n is 7 byte.

.data
    message: .asciiz "Hello\n"
.text

main:
    li $t1,0
    la $t0,message

loop:
    lb   $a0,0($t0)
    beqz $a0,done
    addi $t0,$t0,1
    addi $t1,$t1,1
    j     loop
done:

    li   $v0,1
    add  $a0, $0,$t1
    syscall

    li   $v0,10
    syscall
