Is assembly language low level or middle level language???

Question

i had a college book on c in 1st sem... it said that low level languages are also called machine languages and middle level languages are also called assembly language and c is a middle level language... now i am in 3 rd sem learning c++and i was just searching on internet and i found an article that says assembly language is a low level language.. please explain this concept..

Answer 1

Teddy machine language is the same as assembly, just written in 1's and 0's

Answer 2

assembly language is about as low as you can get, there's no boundary between the language and the computers memory, unlike c, which is a mid level language, because it's pretty far from machine language but is still somewhat close to the computers memory.

in layman's terms, the easier it is for a human to understand the language, the higher level it is

Answer 3

In lot of sources C is also considered low level. But Assembly of course is even lower.
I think those terms are somewhat diffuse.

Just think about the last sentence of hinanawi
This usually enough for some ordering.

Answer 4

Teddy assembly is automatically translated into machine language when you run it

Answer 5

one more question how assembly is different from machine language.... does assembly language needs to be compiled... does both machine and assembly language came under low level language or machine language cant be included in low level languages

Answer 6

mmmmm..... i know that assembly language instructions and variables have names ... and machine language have just 0s and 1s... computer can understand only 0s and 1s so does assembly language needs to be compiled or it isnt bec it is too much close to machine language

Answer 7

thanks and what translates assembly to machine automatically is called assembler??

Answer 8

The assembler language is a low level language and is composed from a predefined set of instructions. This language is mostly used to write programmes for microprocessors, chips and hardware dependent applications. After the compilation, the program is translated into machine code, which is also a set of instructions, but its commands are directly understand by the processor and ALU. In assembler you don't have statements like "if", "for", arithmetic operators. In a high level programming language they are then translated into assembler or directly into machine code by the compiler.
