Your Answer for Question 1:
I'm having trouble with this question because all I could think of is the /* comments */ . C doesn't need to translate the comments into assembly code because the comments are not needed by assembly code to run the program; they help the programmers understand their code.

Your Answer for Question 2:

add k, k, 1;    #k = k + 1

assuming that k has register $s1, the code above can be rewritten:

add $s1, $s1, 1;

Your Answer for Question 3:
Learning MIPS was confusing.  I still don't quite understand what registers are.

Design principle 1 says "simplicity favors regularity" and I agree; writing a function that can take any number of arguments is considerably harder than writing a function that, for example, always takes 2.
