What Is Assembly Language?

April 11, 2023

Assembly language is a low-level programming language for communicating with hardware. The language is a symbolic representation for machine language and directly interacts with the computer.

Every assembly instruction is a machine language instruction that executes directly on a CPU. Assembly is widely used in embedded applications, operating system development, and hardware drivers.

Assembly is difficult to understand and write due to the complexity of the language.
