Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Assembly language has mnemonics .
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Assembly language uses a mnemonic to represent, e.g., each low-level machine instruction or opcode, each directive, typically also each architectural register, flag, etc. Some of the mnemonics may be built in and some user defined. Many operations require one or more operands in order to form a complete instruction.

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: -An assembly language is a low-level programming language for microprocessors and other programmable devices. It is not just a single language, but rather a group of languages. An assembly language implements a symbolic representation of the machine code needed to program a given CPU architecture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Assembly language uses mnemonics to represent instructions. Writing in mnemonics is easier for programmers because they are usually brief representations of the commands.

Detailed explanation-5: -In computer assembler (or assembly) language, a mnemonic is an abbreviation for an operation. It’s entered in the operation code field of each assembler program instruction. for example AND AC, 37 which means AND the AC register with 37 . so AND, SUB and MUL are mnemonic.
