A programming language that is once removed from a
computer's machine language. Machine languages consist entirely of
numbers and are almost impossible for humans to read and write. Assembly
languages have the same structure and set of commands as machine
languages, but they enable a programmer to use names instead of numbers.
Each type of CPU has its own machine language and Assembly language, so
an Assembly language program written for one type of CPU won't run on
another. In the early days of programming, all programs were written in
Assembly language. Now, most programs are written in a high-level
language such as FORTRAN or C. Programmers still use Assembly language
when speed is essential or when they need to perform an operation that
isn't possible in a high-level language.
