assembly language \assembly language\ n.
1. (Computers) an artificial computer language with mnemonic
codes representing the basic machine-language instructions
of a computer, which can be interpreted by an assembler to
produce a computer program in machine language. Also
informally referred to as {assembler}.

Note: Writing a program in assembly language is very much
simpler than writing the machine instructions in binary
code, and the use of such a language greatly increases
the efficiency of the process of writing computer
programs. See also {programming language}, {FORTRAN},
{BASIC}.
