It requires the assembler to convert the assembly code into machine code. - It requires the compiler to convert the high-level language instructions into machine code.
The machine code cannot run on all machines, so it is not a portable language. -The high-level code can run all the platforms, so it is a portable language.
It is memory efficient. - It is less memory efficient.
Debugging and maintenance are not easier in a low-level language. - Debugging and maintenance are easier in a high-level language.
