Assembly language and its uses

Question

What do you mean by Assembly language? Write down its main uses.

Answer 1

Assembly language is the second generation low level language employed for writing computer programs. It employs mnemonic abbreviations or words which are simpler to remember than that of the machine codes.

The main use of mnemonic in assembly language makes program simpler, less error prone and less time consuming as compared to directly entering the numeric machine codes. The assembly language program is translated to target computer’s machine code with the help of the utility program termed as assembler. The assemblers perform one to one (or isomorphic) translation from mnemonic statements to the machine instructions.
