Answer: • The programmer must “manually” manage the movement of

breaking it down into tiny subtasks at the level of what is going on
in individual memory locations.
• An assembly language program is machine specific.
• Statements are not natural-language-like (although operations
are given mnemonic code words as an improvement over a string
of bits).
