Assembly Language Basics

Assembly language is specific to a particular computer architecture, whereas high-level programming languages are generally portable across multiple systems.

An assembly language is a low-level programming language for a computer, microcontroller, or other programmable device, in which each statement corresponds to a single machine code instruction.

The process of converting assembly language into machine code is referred to as assembly, or assembling the code.
