An assembly language, also known as an assembler language, is a low-level programming language. Assembly language has a very strong correspondence with the architecture’s machine code instruction and is specific only to that machine.
Assembly language directly deals with processor of a machine. Here, you can write code to access the registers and even deal with memory addresses directly for retrieving values and pointers.
So, if you are writing a program that has a great algorithm, you are going to benefit greatly. This is mainly because assembly language is the gateway to optimization in speed, thereby offering great efficiency and performance.
Assembly language is the only language that speaks to the computer/machine directly. It is the language that a certain CPU recognizes and different CPUs recognize different types of them.
Assembly language is transparent, when compared to high-level languages, which are mostly in the form of abstract data types; assembly language is bare and transparent.
It also makes it easier for debugging, as it is less complex, there is less overhead as compared to high-level languages.
