What is the purpose of programming languages?
- To allow the computer to give instructions to the programmer
- To translate high level language into machine language
- To enable the programmer to give instructions to the computer in a way that is understandable (correct)
- To create a mapping between machine language and assembly language
Which statement best describes assembly language?
Which statement best describes assembly language?
- It does not need translation as it directly communicates with the computer
- It requires rewriting for each machine due to differences in machine languages (correct)
- It is translated into machine language by a program called a compiler
- It is a high level language used for complex programming tasks
