macro assembler

A macro assembler is a tool that simplifies programming for computers. It allows programmers to create reusable code blocks, called macros, which can expand into detailed instructions when needed. This reduces repetitive work and makes complex tasks easier to manage. Essentially, the macro assembler translates these high-level macros into low-level machine code that a computer's hardware can execute directly. It bridges the gap between human-friendly code and the machine's language, increasing efficiency and productivity during software development.
