Hello Friends,
The answer to your question is
very simple. The name itself
indicate the answer.
Machine language is the
computer programming
language that can be used for
direct programming of the
machine. All you needed is a
machine and knowledge of the
language but the problem with
machine language is that it
require 100% accuracy which is
extremely difficult.
Due to hard learning of machine
language assembly languages
are used.
Assembly languages are used to
create a program on computer
and then assembler is user to
convert the program into binary
code of machine level code.
I hope now you understand the
difference.
Regards,
Sunil Kumar

Hello
Machine Language is a
language that can machine or
computer understand. Every
key press return 1/0 binary. All
the instructions are given under
this binary system.
Assembly language is a next
level the machine language, it
uses some symbol codes along
with binary codes. Both are low
level languages. Both does not
use simple english words like
our own built programs.
When we compile our own
program then the compiler
convert our language of the
program to low level language,
so that machine can understand
our instructions.
With best regards

assembly language - a second
generation programming
language that uses simple
phrasing in place of the
complex series of binary
numbers used in machine
language
machine language - the lowest

level of computer language.

machine language includes the
strings of 1s and 0s, that the
computer can understand.
although programs can be
written in many different higher
level languages, they all must
be converted to machine
language before the computer
can understand and use them.
also called machine code.

Machine Language: The
machine language is the
internal language of the
computer system. It is a difficult
programming language to
handle by any humans. It is
usually made up of a binary
string of 0s and 1s that is
understood by the machine to
follow any instructions. Infact,
we can say that the machine can
only recognize these 0s and 1s
and nothing else. So, it is a
language of the lowest degree
made for machines only.
Programmes therefore prefers to
use either a high-level
programming language or an
assembly language to deliver
various instructions by
translating it to machine
understandable codes known as
machine codes.
Assembly Language:
Assembly language is a second

generation programming
language used in the computer
systems. In assembly language,
a programmer uses symbolic
instructions instead of machine
language instructions and
descriptive names for data items
and memory location. An
assembly language program is
written according to strict rules
and then translated by an
assembler into machine code. It
is machine dependant language
hence it is not portable. It has
very less restrictions and also
features high interaction
between the operating system
and the hardware thus enabling
to write easy hardware
dependant programs. The
various symbolic notations used
in the assembly language is
called mnemonics.

Machine Language:
Every computer has its own
machine language,which is the
only language understood by
the
computer.Originally,programs
were written in machine
language.But now programs are
written in special programming
languages,but these programs
must be translated in to the
machine language of the
computer before the program
can be executed.Machine

language instructions are

represented by binary numbers
i.e.,sequence consisting of
zero's and one's.
For e.g:001010001110
could represent a 12-bit
machine language
instruction.This instruction is
divided into two parts an
operation code(or op code) and
an operand,e.g:
Op code 001, Operand
010001110
The op code specifies the
operation(add,multiply,move.....
) and the operand is the address
of the data item that is to be
operated on.Besides
remembering the dozens of
code numbers for the
operations,the programmer also
has to keep track of the
addresses of all the data
items.Thus programming in
machine language is highly
complicated and subject to
error.Also,the program is
program is machine
independent.
Assembly Language:
Here the sequence of 0's and 1's
that serve as operation codes in
machine language are replaced
by mnemonics(memoryaiding,alphabetic codes).Each
assembly language instructions
may have three parts,not all of
which is required to be
specified.The first part is the
label or tag.These are the
programmer defined symbols
that give the address of the
instruction.Then follow the op
code of the operand, as with the
machine language

instruction.Here the operands

are symbolized ad hoc,in letters
chosen by the programmers.
