Assembly language is defined as:
- A language -- verbs, nouns, syntax, etc. -- used by programmers to write computer programs. It is relatively ‘low level’ in that the programmer must keep many machine details in mind.[1]
It consists of simple symbolic names, mnemonic abbreviations and alphanumeric symbols that can be understood by programmers.[2] It is generally considered to be an “intermediate”-level programming language.[3] An assembly language program is converted into machine-readable form by an assembler program.[4]
