COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

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: -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. Assembly language is designed to be easily translated into machine language.

Detailed explanation-3: -The assembler translates a code written in assembly language mnemonics and convert it into binary code. An interpreter is a program which executes the programming code directly instead of just translating it into another format. A compiler is a translator which converts high-level language into the low-level language.
