Advantages of Assembly Language Having an understanding of assembly language makes one aware of − How programs interface with OS, processor, and BIOS; How data is represented in memory and other external devices; How the processor accesses and executes instruction; How instructions access and process data; How a program accesses external devices. Other advantages of using assembly language are − It requires less memory and execution time; It allows hardware-specific complex jobs in an ... Introduction to Assembly Language What is Assembly Language ? Assembly language is a type of programming language that allows us to write instructions that a computer’s processor can understand directly. It is a low-level language , which means it is much closer to the way a computer thinks compared to high-level languages like Python or Java. Assembly language (asm) is a low-level programming language, where the language instructions will be more similar to machine code instructions. Every assembler may have it's own assembly language designed for a specific computers or an operating system. Assembly language requires less execution time and memory. Assembly Language Statements Assembly language programs consist of three types of statements − Executable instructions or instructions, Assembler directives or pseudo-ops, and Macros. The executable instructions or simply instructions tell the processor what to do. Each instruction consists of an operation code (opcode).
