Netwide Assembler (NASM)

Netwide Assembler (NASM) is an open-source assembly language compiler used to translate assembly language code into machine code, which computers can execute. Assembly language is a low-level programming language that closely corresponds to a computer's architecture, allowing programmers to write instructions for the computer in a human-readable format. NASM supports various formats and is popular for writing operating systems, performance-critical applications, and embedded systems. Its flexibility and efficiency make it a valuable tool for developers who need direct control over hardware using a powerful yet straightforward syntax.
