Detailed explanation-1: -Beyond machine code, assembly languages provide the fastest execution. At just one level higher than machine code, assembly languages are used mainly to write low level (computationally specific) code.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why are assembly language programs faster and smaller? There are several reasons. First, when you write assembly code, you can select the minimum required instructions to perform an operation. Second, you do not need to select instructions based on any pre-defined patterns or rules (as do most compilers).
Detailed explanation-3: -C++ is the fastest language according to a number of measures, including compilation time and execution speed. In this section, we will look at some ways in which C++ beats out other programming languages in terms of performance.
Detailed explanation-4: -It executes at a faster pace. It requires the assembler to convert the assembly code into machine code. It requires the compiler to convert the high-level language instructions into machine code. The machine code cannot run on all machines, so it is not a portable language.
