Low-Level Programming

Low-level programming refers to coding that is closely related to a computer's hardware and architecture. It involves working with machine code or assembly language, which allow programmers to interact directly with a computer's memory and processor. This type of programming offers more control and efficiency but can be more complex and less intuitive than higher-level languages, like Python or Java. Low-level programming is essential for tasks that require high performance or direct hardware manipulation, such as operating systems, device drivers, and embedded systems. It forms the foundation upon which higher-level languages are built.
