Your Answer for Question 1:
MIPS demonstrates that we do not need all these statements to perform a loop.

The while and do while loops can be dropped. Goto and If's have MIPS equivalent commands.

The designers included while and do while loops to make it easier for the programmer. It is a "sugared" loop.

Your Answer for Question 2:
&& || > < >= <= = == != & |

MIPS so far as we have read fromt he chapter has 3
beq, bne, and slt.

This is so that the hardware does not have to be made to accept so many different commands. Simpler means faster.

Your Answer for Question 3:
Realizing how simple and primitive a language can be but still being able to get the job done was the most interesting thing I've learned.
