Your Answer for Question 1:
1. for mips the natural number of operands for an operation is three, no more and no less. 
this require conforms to the philosophy of keeping the hardware simple.

2. the operands cannot be any variables; they must be from a limited number of special locations. the reason is the design principle: smaller is faster.

Your Answer for Question 2:
lw $t0, k($s3) #low the value store in k into $t0
add $t0, $t0, 1; # add one to the value store in k
sw $t0, k($s3) #store the value back after adding one

the problem here is that when k is called the first time after k++, the value return is k but not k+1. and I don't know how to do it in mips to make the program return k instead of return K+1.


Your Answer for Question 3:
the book didn't show how to assign a constant to a variable in mips. for example how to translate 
int x;
x = 1; 
into mips.
