Mainframe Assembler: Unveiling the Power of Low-Level Programming?
Assembler was a significant leap forward in programming efficiency and productivity. It introduced mnemonics, which are human-readable abbreviations for machine instructions. These mnemonics were translated into their respective machine language counterparts, providing a more intuitive and concise way of programming. Assembler also introduced symbolic labels, allowing programmers to refer to memory locations and instructions using meaningful names instead of raw addresses.
