‘ _ Ans. Assembly Language Programming — A programmer can easily write a program in alphanumeric symbols instead of zeros and ones. Meaningful and easily rememberable symbols are chosen for the purpose. Examples are — aes i MP for comparison etc. Such ADD for addition, SUB na Pr argent in mnemonics is known as symbols are called mnemonics. A prog 5 ofa progtam int issembly language assembly language program. The writing a ing a program in machi is much easier and faster as compared to the writing a P era aching language. Both assembly language and machine language are microprocessor. specific. A microprocessor-specific language is known asa low-level language, > Writinga program in the assembly language is not only easier than writing it in the machine language, but it also helps in debugging, documentation and maintenance. Asan'assembly language program cannot be directly executed, it has to be converted into the machine language form for its execution. The translation of anassembly language program into its machine language equivalent can be done with the help of a special software tool known as an assembler. The assembjer accepts an assembly language program called a ‘source program’ as input and produces its machine language equivalent called ‘object code’ as output. High-level Language Programming — The difficulties associated with assembly languages can be overcome using high-level languages. Instructions written in high-level languages are called statements rather than mnemonics. In a high-level language statemerits more clearly resemble English and Mathematics than mnemonics. Examples of hi: in these languages is easier or faster because one statement of a high-level language corresponds to many instructions of assembly language. ical o| ij ‘ assembly language program, pcodes.
