Assembly

Assembly refers to a low-level programming language that is closely related to the machine code specific to a computer's architecture. It serves as an intermediary between machine language (the binary code that a computer understands) and high-level programming languages (like Python or Java). Assembly language uses mnemonics (easier-to-read symbols) to represent machine instructions, making it more understandable for programmers. It's often used for system programming, embedded systems, or performance-critical applications because it allows for precise control over hardware and can optimize speed and efficiency in executing tasks.
