Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By 1950, computers were being programmed in assembly language. As we saw earlier, one line in Assembly Language is translated into one machine instruction by a program called an assembler. At this time, computers were so expensive and slow that this was the only feasible method of programming.
Detailed explanation-2: -2GL stands for second-generation programming language. Assembly language was the second generation of computer language. Use of 2GL made programming much easier than writing programs in 1GL, which is machine language, consisting of a series of 0s and 1s. 2GL is also known as a low-level programming language.
