Final answer:

The compiler handles if-else statements in MIPS using conditional branches and labels.

Step-by-step explanation:

In MIPS, the compiler handles if-else statements using conditional branches and labels. Here's how it works:

  1. The compiler first evaluates the condition in the if statement.
  2. If the condition is true, the compiler executes the block of code associated with the if statement.
  3. If the condition is false, the compiler jumps to the next sequential line of code, which is typically the first line of code after the if-else statement.
  4. If there is an else statement, the compiler executes the block of code associated with the else statement when the condition in the if statement is false.
  5. After executing the if or else block, the compiler jumps to the next sequential line of code after the if-else statement.
