SUBTRACT the value 3 from the accumulator register

MULTIPLY the value 4 with the accumulator register

What is one advantage of using assembly language over machine code?

It allows a programmer to create programmes more easily.

Which of the following is an example of an assembly language instruction?

10001011000001000001001010011001

01111111111000000000000000000000

00000000000000000000000000000001

Why won't a programme written for a PC run on an Apple or Samsung smartphone?

Because machine code instructions are specific to a particular processor or family of processors

Because smartphones do not support machine code

Because PCs use a different operating system

Because smartphones have less memory

Which of the following statements is true about assembly language?

Assembly language is processor-specific.

Assembly language is not processor-specific.

Assembly language does not need to be translated into machine code.

Assembly language is considered a high-level language.

What must happen to assembly language before it can be executed?

It must be translated into machine code.

It must be compiled into high-level code.

It must be interpreted directly by the processor.

It must be converted into binary code.

What is the relationship between assembly language and machine code?

There is a 1:1 correspondence between assembly language and machine code.

Assembly language is a subset of machine code.

Assembly language is a higher-level abstraction of machine code.

What is assembly language typically used for today?

Software used in embedded systems

What is one of the main advantages of using assembly language?

It allows the programmer to precisely control any instruction on the processor.

It is easier to write than high-level languages.

It requires less memory than machine code.

Why might a graphics device driver be programmed in assembly language?

To run quickly and make use of all the advanced features.

To make the programme easier to understand.

To ensure the driver is compatible with all operating systems.

To reduce the cost of development.

What is a characteristic of high-level languages?

They generally have statements that look a bit like English or Maths.

They are written in binary code.

They are difficult to learn and understand.

They are used only for system programming.

Why are high-level languages easier to learn and understand?

Because they have statements that resemble English or Maths.

Because they use complex syntax.

Because they are written in machine code.

Because they are only used for web development.

What is the purpose of high-level languages being designed to make it as easy as possible to write programmes?

To solve certain types of problem

To increase the complexity of programmes

To reduce the need for debugging

What is the role of a compiler or an interpreter in the context of high-level languages?

To translate the program into machine code

To execute the program directly

To optimise the program for performance

What is machine independence in the context of high-level programming languages?

The ability of a programme to run on different types of processors with very few changes to the programme statements.

The ability of a programme to run only on the processor it was originally written for.

The ability of a programme to run without any translation to machine code.

The ability of a programme to run on different operating systems without any changes.

What is used to translate the source code into machine code for different types of processors?

A different compiler or interpreter for each type of processor

Which of the following is an advantage of high-level languages?

Programmes can be written faster in a high-level language

They are more difficult to debug

Why might some programmers still use low-level languages despite the advantages of high-level languages?

Low-level languages offer more control over hardware

Low-level languages are easier to learn

Low-level languages are faster to write programmes in

Low-level languages are easier to debug

What is one advantage of writing a programme in a low-level language?

The programme will run very quickly

The programme will be easier to understand

The programme will require more RAM

The programme will be more secure

Why do low-level programs usually require less RAM?

Because they are closer to machine code

Because they are written in a high-level language

Because they use more resources
