I'm going to be using C in my University course, Computer Games Development. What is an assembly?
not "an assembly" - assembly language is used to code machine code using symbolic names.
For example:
the instruction NOP on an x86 processor is written as NOP in assembly, but is actually 0x90 (hex) in machine code.
so assemblers or assemblies or whatever they're called is just a way of saying assembly code. I thought they were some kind of file. The way this website makes out they are unique to C. Are you sure you know what you're talking about? Have you used C before?
assembly is a language, and there is no plural. (it's like saying "englishs" or "frenchs" to refer to the english language or french).
assembly is not specific to C - it is a language in it's own right but C compilers allow you to stick assembly code into your program using "inline assembly".
and yes - i know C,
