im trying find out substring and first occurrence indices. but something wrong. im comparing each element of pattern array and each element of string array until pointer reach to '\0'. whats the problem. algorithm is totaly wrong ?
#Note: $v0 is a symbolic name used by the assember for $2.
# $a0 is a symbolic name used by the assember for $4.
