Machine language is the actual bits used to control the processor in the computer, usually viewed as a sequence of hexadecimal numbers (typically bytes). The processor reads these bits in from program memory, and the bits represent "instructions" as to what to do next.
Thus machine language provides a way of entering instructions into a computer (whether through switches, punched tape, or a binary file).
Assembly language is a more human readable view of machine language. Instead of representing the machine language as numbers, the instructions and registers are given names (typically abbreviated words, or mnemonics, eg ld means "load"). Unlike a high level language, assembler is very close to the machine language. The main abstractions (apart from the mnemonics) are the use of labels instead of fixed memory addresses, and comments.
An assembly language program (ie a text file) is translated to machine language by an assembler. A disassembler performs the reverse function (although the comments and the names of labels will have been discarded in the assembler process).

What is the difference between machine language and Assembly language?
Machine language is the native language of the machine, also known as machine code. Assembly language is language intended for humans to make writing machine code programs… easier. Rather than binary code, assembly language uses short mnemonics to represent each machine instruction, with symbolic representations for the CPU registers. Memory addresses are represented in hexadecimal form, while numeric values can be encoded in a choice of hexadecimal, decimal, octal or binary. Assembly is a low-level language. A primitive machine code program known as an assembler is used to translate the assembly instructions into machine code. Although assembly languages make it easier to produce machine code programs, the source code is machine-dependant (non-portable), is difficult to both write and maintain, and code must be liberally commented to assist the reader (comments are ignored by the assembler). High-level languages allow programmers to write code with a much higher level of abstraction, using languages that are much closer to natural language and much less machine-dependant (portable).

What are the difference between machine language assembly language and high level language?
You can write programs much faster in high level programming language than you can is assembly language or machine language.Learning and mastering a high level programming lan…guage takes less time than learning and mestring machine language, assembly language.High level programming language protect you from accessing all parts of a computer, they protect you from writing a program that accidentally mess up the computer, cousing it to crash.Reading and modifying a program written in a high level programming language is much easier than reading and modifying an equivalent program written in assembly language or machine language.Programs written in high level programming language can run on a variety of computers, if you write a program in high level programming language, you can theoretically part that program to run on a different computer.

Difference between assembly language and machine language?
Machine language is the actual instructions in computer memory that are fetched into the processor and executed. It is directly executable and consists of what look to most hu…man beings like a bunch of hexadecimal numbers, though a few geeks such as myself can tell it is code instead of numbers. For example, the instructions executing interrupt 21, service 10, are: B410 CD21 Assembly language is a human readable as mnemonics, it translates on a one for one basis into machine language. The computer cannot execute assembly language directly, but human beings who are trained can understand it. The assembly language equivalent of the above instructions is: MOV AH,10 ; prepare for service 10 by putting 10 into AH INT 21 ; vectors into code established in the interrupt table (MORE)

What is the difference between assembly language and machine level language?
There is very little difference, functionally, between assembly language and machine level language. Each assembly language statement corresponds to one machine instruct…ion. The difference is in readability (who wants to read and write in hex code?) and in ease of address computation. (MORE)

What is difference between machine language and assembly language in 8085?
Assembly language can be understood easily by the human eye as it is a set of syntaxial instructions, while machine language is made up of individual binary codes. Each comman…d of assembly code could execute dozens of binary machine code steps The 8085 chip was the predecessor to the 8086 Chip found in the Commodore 64 in the early 80's. It had a set of 252 instructions. The 8086 had 256 Basic and 128 Expanded Instruction set. This difference was the basic step required to create the chips we rely on in our computers today. (MORE)
