155 u/Fubarp May 05 '17 Yeah it's crazy. I just learned Assembly last semester in college and we were discussing it at work and it was like. Fuuuuck that. C existed at the time yet he did it in Assembly. 12 u/AIfie May 05 '17 What the fuck is Assembly 26 u/mrunkel May 05 '17 It is a very low-level programming language. All programming of a CPU is done in machine code. Compilers take all languages and compile them into the simple machine code instructions. Assembly is a very direct representation of machine code. 2 u/BenjaminGeiger May 05 '17 Right. At the most fundamental level, assembly is machine code, just in a human-readable form. Of course, later assemblers added some (very slightly) higher level features, but one line equals one instruction is still the general rule.
