What is an assembly language ? is it popular nowadays ?
Answers
Answer:
An assembly language is a low-level programming language designed for a specific type of processor. It may be produced by compiling source code from a high-level programming language (such as C/C++) but can also be written from scratch. Assembly code can be converted to machine code using an assembler.
Today, assembly language is still used for direct hardware manipulation, access to specialized processor instructions, or to address critical performance issues. Typical uses are device drivers, low-level embedded systems, and real-time systems
Assembly language is a low level language which follows a
programmer to use mnemonic code riches symbol
representation for names list of numbers there is a lot of errors the coding as well as the time taken to write the languages compared to the machine language.
The Assembly language is not popular nowadays because
user is required to have complete knowledge of the internal
architecture of computer machinery to use it. Hence it is also
machine dependent. The assembler has to be loaded to the
Computer memory for translation of the Assembly language
into the computer. Thee assembler requires a lot of memory
space does it is not suitable for small capacity computers
