NASM (Netwide Assembler)

NASM (Netwide Assembler) is a tool that converts written instructions, called assembly language, into machine code that a computer's processor can execute directly. Assembly language provides a human-readable way to program hardware-specific tasks at a low level, offering precise control over system resources. NASM reads these instructions and translates them into binary instructions the CPU understands. It is widely used in systems programming, embedded systems, and performance-critical applications because of its efficiency and fine control over hardware operations. Essentially, NASM acts as a bridge between human-readable code and the machine’s native language.
