It's one step above machine code. It's written using what are called "instructions", which tell the CPU what to do. Assembly is generally not portable, because you need to use instructions supported by your target CPU architecture. It's not as scary as some people might tell you. In fact, I would say it's far easier than most programming languages, because there are very few constructs you need to understand to start writing it.

It's a very low level programming language. Scary stuff.

Assembly are the codes that understand the microprocessor. It's a low level way to program. Consist in loading registers, add, substract, branch the execution flow, bit operations, and things like that.

Its machine code with instructions in human form. Anytime time you compile c++, it is all converted into assembly
