An assembly language is a low-level language for programming computers. It implements a symbolic representation of the numeric machine codes and other constants needed to program a particular CPU architecture. This representation is usually defined by the hardware manufacturer, and is based on abbreviations (called mnemonics) that help the programmer remember individual instructions, registers, etc. An assembly language is thus specific to a certain physical or virtual computer architecture (as opposed to most high-level languages, which are usually portable).

what is difference btw assembly language and machine language ? and what is ROM ?

tape, or a binary file.Assembly language is a more human readable view of machine language. Instead of representing the machine language as numbers, the instructions and registers are given names typically abbreviated words, or mnemonics, eg ld means "load". Unlike a high level language, assembler is very close to the machine language. The main abstractions apart from the mnemonics

Explain the difference between high-level languages and machine language.

are much better at optimizing for speed now.Examples of high level languages include C, C, Java, etc.Examples of low level languages include machine language specific to each processor and assembly language language it understands Machine Language or ML is also known as Assembler....The difference between high level languages and machine languages are as follows: 1Machine language usesbinary numbers

Define Assembly Language

Assembly Language is a low level programming language using the human readable instructions of the CPU. On PCs, the assembly language looks like this mov ebx, eax mov esi, 66 mov [edxebx44...], ecx mov [ebx...], ahTo compile this into machine code, you need an assembler. Its just a compiler for assembly language.Each assembly language statement is translated into one machine instruction

What is Programming Language?

the computer actually understands, called machine languages. Each different type of CPU has its own unique machine language.Lying between machine languages and high-level languages are languages called assembly languages. Assembly languages are similar to machine languages, but they are much easier to program in because they allow a programmer to substitute names for numbers. Machine languages consist of numbers

What is the History of C Languages?

to implement UNIX. C code runs as fast as assembly language code.Ken Thompson created the B language in 1969 from Martin Richards BCPL Basic Combined Programming Language. He used assembly language and B functions. In fact C was invented specifically to implement UNIX.
