What type of computer languages uses English-like abbreviations for machine-language instructions?

The assembly languages provide human-readable mnemonics, one for each machine instruction. Most assembly language instructions have similarities to words from the English language (e.g. ADD, MOVE, LOAD). However, it is possible that assembly languages are defined in resemblance to other human languages, or none at all. For example, processors designed in and predominantly used in countries with a different language and script might define assembly instructions more familiar and easier to use by its target audience. For example, it is possible that Chinese processors define assembly language instructions without resemblance to English.


Why do you need assembly language?

Assembly language is more human-readable than machine language. Generally, statements in assembly language are written using short codes for the instruction and arguments, such as "MOV $12 SP", as opposed to machine language, where everything is written as numbers. Assembly language can have comments and macros as well, to ease programming and understanding. Generally, programs called "assemblers" transform assembly language to machine language. This is a relatively straightforward process, there being a clear 1-to-1 transformation between assembly and machine language. This is as opposed to compilers, which do a complicated transformation between high-level language and assembly. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSEMBLY is the key word to define the difference between Machine Language and Assembly. . Assembly language assembles steps of MACHINE CODE into SUB-ROUTINES defined by simple text words: Such as: the assembly command 'ADD' may represents 20-30 machine commands.


Who Assembly language write?

That depends on who you ask and how far back you go. It could be Intel, it could be whoever designed the ENAIC (used for looking up trajectory tables) but I think it was Charles Babbage, inventor of the 'analytical machine.' More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_complete


What is lex in system software and assembly language programming subject in M.C.A?

M.C.A could be almost anything, maybe a name of a school or school department? Lex (short for Lexical Analyzer)`is a specialized programming language that takes a set of specifications for how to scan text and find specific items in the text and generates C language source code that is compiled with other code to actually perform the work. The code generated can be used as part of a compilers lexical scan, scanning for specific words and symbols.

Are machine language and assembly language the same?

No, they are not the same. Assembly language uses mnemonic words to REPRESENT machine language; to be able to actually run it, a special program - a so-called assembler - then needs to convert it into machine language.

What is difference between machine code and assembly 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 human 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
