Question 2

What are the key differences between assembly and high-level programming languages?

Answer 2

Assembly uses mnemonics for machine code, is processor-specific, low-level, and requires more lines of code.

Offers exact control over memory and hardware, good for efficiency, performance, and limited memory (e.g., embedded systems).

High-level languages are portable, easier to read, write, debug, and maintain.

High level language also Better for large projects; support multiple programming paradigms and faster development.
