 Here's a starter function you can use:

-If mips_to_c gives you an error about branch-likely instructions, edit the `.s` file and rename any branch-likely instructions to their unlikely equivalent (i.e. remove the `l` suffix). Add a `nop` after the branches and move the instruction that was originally in the delay slot (directly after the branch instruction) to the start of the target label. Don't commit the edited assembly.
-
 Open up the relevant `.c` file and replace the function's `INCLUDE_ASM` macro with the output from mips_to_c. Run the following command to attempt to compile, replacing `function_name` with the name of the function you're working with:
 
 ```sh
