Pour faire exécuter une suite d'instructions au processeur, il faut lui fournir des données binaires (souvent représentées en notation hexadécimale pour plus de lisibilité, mais cela revient au même...). Or, les fonctions en notation hexadécimale sont difficiles à retenir, c'est pourquoi le langage assembleur a été mis au point. Il permet de noter les instructions avec des noms explicites suivis de paramètres. 2, record 1, French, - notation%20hexad%C3%A9cimale
