What language is used by assembler?

Answer 1

Assembly languages vary by the intended architecture.

In general, assembly languages are very basic when compared to higher level languages like C, Java, Perl or Python, consisting of only a few dozen instructions. These instructions are grouped together to form higher level operations. Generally, it takes many lines of assembly code to do the same task as a few lines of higher level code.

Variables are not 'named' like in high level languages and are limited in quantity. However, greater control over storage locations can be acheived. For instance, r0 would refer to a variable stored in register 0. Mathematic operations are often performed by logical operations (AND, OR, XOR etc etc).

Answer 2

Assembly is a symbolic language where each of the machine's operation codes (opcodes) is represented by an easy-to-remember mnemonic, typically 3 or 4 letters long. Having read a mnemonic from the source file, a simple look-up table will reveal the corresponding opcode. Some mnemonics have more than one opcode depending on the operand types. For instance, the MOV opcode can move a value from working memory into a register, from one register to another register, or from a register back to memory. Thus the specific opcode will be chosen based upon both the mnemonic and its operand types.

Answer 3

Assembler is the name of programming language.
