Abstract
There are obvious differences between the programming language Pascal and the assembly code of SDC, and the assembly codes of other computers. The differences arise because assembly codes are low-level, machine-dependent languages which are used for coding programs to be executed on a particular computer. They reflect the architectural details of that computer. Pascal, on the other hand, is an example of a high-level programming language.
