A programmer is working on a task that requires direct hardware manipulation for maximum performance. In this context, which statement best describes the assembly language category of programming languages?
They are typically used for high-level web applications.
They translate directly into machine code, allowing for efficient hardware control.
They are mainly found in modern mobile applications.
They use advanced syntax similar to high-level languages.
Assembly languages provide a way to write instructions in a more human-readable format compared to machine code, allowing programmers to develop efficient software that interacts directly with the hardware. Other programming languages do not operate at this low level, and while compiled languages are translated to machine code, they do not provide the same level of control as assembly languages.
