Chapter 2: Assembly Language¶
Assembly language is a low-level programming language, meaning that is does not abstract away the computer’s instruction set architectures, but instead provides a one-to-one mapping between machine instructions and mnemonics that are easier for programmers to remember.
The assembly langauge also provides what we can consider our first use of variables.
