Answer 3 addi $t0,$zero,0xa010 # $t0=0xa010 lui $t0,0x700d # $t0=0x700da010 The upper bits of both PCs are the same so we just have to convert the byte address to a word address. So the address in the jump instruction is: 0x20000. Performing a XOR operation on two numbers. If they are equal the result will be 0. The result bits are then ORed together. If they are all 0 the result will be 0. It is faster because all bits are computed in parallel. Not like subtraction where the higher bits are dependent on the lower bit carries. Answer 4
