Python to Mips Pattern conversion

My school assignment requires me to convert this python code to mips, I am beginner at MIPS hence I have no idea how to approach this solution.

Please make sure to comment the code which could help me understand the code.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA.

#Set Values

#take input for max no of symbols from user

max_no_of_symbols=int(input("Enter Max Number Of Sybols(should Be ODD)"))

#only enter odd num

if max_no_of_symbols %2 == 0:

print("Error, Please enter a odd number")

else:

#caculate num of spaces

NumOfSpaces=int((max_no_of_symbols-1)/2)

NumOfSymbols=1

while NumOfSymbols != max_no_of_symbols :

    #print output

    for i in range(NumOfSpaces):

        print(" ",end="")

    for i in range(NumOfSymbols):

        print(NumOfSymbols, end="")

    #adjusting values for new line

    NumOfSpaces=NumOfSpaces-1

    NumOfSymbols=NumOfSymbols+2

    print(" ")


while NumOfSymbols != 0 :

   #print output

    for i in range(NumOfSpaces):

        print(" ",end="")

    for i in range(NumOfSymbols):

        print(NumOfSymbols, end="")

    #adjusting values for new line

    NumOfSpaces=NumOfSpaces+1

    NumOfSymbols=NumOfSymbols-2

    print(" ")
