Final answer:

To skip over user input in MIPS assembly, you can branch over the input instruction or use predetermined values in registers. This allows for continuing execution without stopping for actual user input.

Step-by-step explanation:

To skip over user input in MIPS assembly, you can simply advance the program's execution to the instruction following the one that would normally request input. One could do this by conditionally branching over the input instruction based on a specific condition, or by setting the program to always jump over the input-requesting routine during the development process. However, typically in MIPS assembly, user input is gathered using the syscall instruction with a specific service code.

If you want to simulate or ignore input during testing, you might set up a register with a predetermined value that simulates the user's input, rather than executing the syscall which waits for actual input. Here's an example of skipping an input in a program:
