Unilaterally removing the cleanup tag. If you disagree, put it back.

This is, however, wholly unreferenced and pulled entirely from my head. Unfortunately my computing library is in boxes in England. Anyone?
Line 6:
 
Machine language is tedious and difficult for humans to program in directly, so if the abstraction given by a higher-level [[programming language]] is not desired, an [[assembly language]] is used. Here, [[mnemonic]] instructions are used that correspond to the opcode and operand specifications of the machine language instructions generated. This gives a greater level of readability and comprehensibility than working with machine language operations directly, while still giving accurate control of the machine language generated. A program called an [[assembler]] transforms assembly language into machine code.
