An advantage of programming in low-level programming is

• Easier to understand

• Takes up less code

• Produce programs that require small file sizes

• Easier to de-bug

What sort of relationship are low-level languages said to have with high-level languages?

• One to One (One high level instruction is equivalent to one low level)

• One to Two (For every high level instruction - two low level instructions)

• One to many (For every high level instruction-many low level instructions)

• Many to One (Many high level instructions translate into one low level one)
