  2. Assembly language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

    In computer programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language [1] or symbolic machine code), [2] [3] [4] often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM or asm, is any low-level programming language with a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions. [5]

  3. List of programming languages by type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

    A concatenative programming language is a point-free computer programming language in which all expressions denote functions, and the juxtaposition of expressions denotes function composition. [4] Concatenative programming replaces function application , which is common in other programming styles, with function composition as the default way ...

  4. Assembly (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_(programming)

    In computer programming an assembly is a runtime unit consisting of types and other resources. All types in an assembly have the same version number. Often, one assembly has only one namespace and is used by one program. But it can span over several namespaces. Also, one namespace can spread over several assemblies.

  5. Low-level programming language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_programming_language

    A low-level programming language is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture; commands or functions in the language are structurally similar to a processor's instructions. Generally, this refers to either machine code or assembly language. Because of the low (hence the word ...

  6. Little Computer 3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Computer_3

    Little Computer 3, or LC-3, is a type of computer educational programming language, an assembly language, which is a type of low-level programming language. It features a relatively simple instruction set, but can be used to write moderately complex assembly programs, and is a viable target for a C compiler .

  7. x86 assembly language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_assembly_language

    x86 assembly language is a family of low-level programming languages that are used to produce object code for the x86 class of processors. These languages provide backward compatibility with CPUs dating back to the Intel 8008 microprocessor, introduced in April 1972.

  8. Halt and Catch Fire (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halt_and_Catch_Fire...

    In computer engineering, Halt and Catch Fire, known by the assembly language mnemonic HCF, is an idiom referring to a computer machine code instruction that causes the computer's central processing unit (CPU) to cease meaningful operation, typically requiring a restart of the computer.

  9. Addressing mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addressing_mode

    In computer programming, addressing modes are primarily of interest to those who write in assembly languages and to compiler writers. For a related concept see orthogonal instruction set which deals with the ability of any instruction to use any addressing mode.
