Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is Assembly code?
A
Another name for Pseudocode
B
A programming language that uses mnemonic codes
C
A program that joins pieces of code together
D
Another name for machine code
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In assembly language, programmers write programs as a series of mnemonics. Mnemonics are much easier to understand and debug than machine code, giving programmers a simpler way of directly controlling a computer. Assembly language uses mnemonics to represent instructions.

Detailed explanation-2: -In assembly language, mnemonics are used to specify an opcode that represents a complete and operational machine language instruction. This is later translated by the assembler to generate the object code.

Detailed explanation-3: -Assembly language is one level above machine language. It uses short mnemonic codes for instructions and allows the programmer to introduce names for blocks of memory that hold data. One might thus write “add pay, total” instead of “0110101100101000” for an instruction that adds two numbers.
