Assembly Language is a low-level programming language that provides a symbolic representation of a computer’s machine code instructions. Each command in assembly corresponds to a single machine operation, using mnemonics (such as MOV, ADD, JMP) and labels to make programming more human-readable than raw binary. It allows developers to write highly efficient and hardware-specific code, offering precise control over system resources like memory and CPU registers. Assembly language is primarily used in embedded systems, device drivers, and performance-critical applications, and it must be translated into machine code by an assembler.
