When I do this:
la $a1, 9($t1)the code works, but when I do this:
marker: .word 9
la $a1, marker($t1)The code doesn't work.... I don't understand why....?

I'm not familiar with the above syntax so this is a guess....when you place 9 into the label marker you place into memory so the second set of instructions requires a memory call while the first, 9 can be made into part of the instruction or immediate so no memory call to retrieve it...Like I said this is a guess because I'm not familiar with this syntax....

I want to access to access the value in $t1 in a loop, that is, access 0($t1) then 9($t1), then 18($t1)...
