Study Notes
- Low-level programming language is a machine-dependent (0s and 1s) language.
- Low-level language is further divided into two parts - machine language and assembly language.
- Machine language is easier to read because it is normally displayed in binary or hexadecimal form (base 16) form.
- The advantage of machine language is that it helps the programmer to execute the programs faster than the high-level programming language.
- Assembly language (ASM) is also a type of low-level programming language that is designed for specific processors.
- Assembly language uses an assembler to convert the assembly language to machine language.
