This article delves into how to convert high-level conditional statements (such as greater than, greater than or equal, and less than or equal) into efficient machine code in MIPS assembly language, using only the slt (set on less than), beq (branch if equal), and bne (branch if not equal) instructions.

Key topics include: the working principle of the slt instruction and its critical role in comparison operations, the application of beq and bne in conditional jumps, and optimizing code structure via logical equivalence transformations (e.g., implementing $s0 >= $s1 as !($s0 < $s1)).
