Study Notes
Advantages of Assembly Language
- Symbolic programming in Assembly Language enhances understanding, making it more intuitive for programmers.
- Saves time and effort during the programming process due to its readability.
- Error correction and instruction modifications are simpler compared to other programming paradigms.
- Executes with the same efficiency as machine-level languages; translates directly through a one-to-one mapping to machine code.
Disadvantages of Assembly Language
- Machine dependency limits portability; programs for one computer may not function on another with different hardware configurations.
- Writing and debugging in Assembly Language is complex and challenging for programmers.
- Generally slower and less efficient than high-level language programs which are compiled into machine code.
- Assembler programs are prone to a higher incidence of errors and bugs, making them less reliable than high-level language counterparts.
