ASM or Assembly Language is the lowest level of software programming. It uses alphabetic codes to represent processor instructions. ASM is processor specific. It compiles directly to "machine language".
A language that allows you to combine high-level programming with low-level programming. C and C++ are generally regarded as being mid-level languages.
An assembler.
Because it cannot be understood by users. High level language like C can be understood by the user by looking at its source code. But assembly level language does not have any source code, its a language converted from high level language to low level language (assembly level language or machine level language) so that the language which the user could read/understand can also be read/understand by the machine.
Machine code & Assembly language.
Assembly languages are low level languages, sometimes also called machine-level languages.
Machine Code, Assembly
It are machine code and Assembly.
Assembly language is low-level because it has the least amount of abstraction between the source and the resultant machine code. That is, the translation from assembly language to machine code is 1:1. All high-level languages have much higher degrees of abstraction.
They are both low level. Machine code has no abstraction whatsoever so it could be regarded as being no-level rather than low-level. However, there are very few instances where a programmer has to "bang the metal" and write machine code by hand. That's precisely the reason we wrote assemblers and compilers in the first place!
Assembly language uses a low-level programming language that directly corresponds to machine code instructions.
It are machine code and Assembly.
Yes, it's actually about as low level as you can get. An example of a high level langauge would be Java
