Assembly Language versus Higher Level Programming Languages Options

[Unknown]

High Level Programming languages like C++ and Java are interpreted, which means that the compiler has to translate the code in your program to machine language before your program can be executed. Much closer to machine language is assembly code, which some programmers prefer because it allows you to code faster programs. Here's a comparison:

void crcgen( void )
{
unsigned long crc, poly;
int i, j;

poly = 0xEDB88320L;
for (i=0; i<256; i++) {
crc = i;
for (j=8; j>0; j--) {
if (crc&1) {
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ poly;
} else {
crc >>= 1;
}
}
crcTable[i] = crc;
}
}


And now this is assembly:


procedure crcgen;
asm
mov ebx,$EDB88320
mov edi,offset crctbl
xor ecx,ecx
@s0:
mov eax,ecx
mov edx,8
@e0:
test eax,1
jz @n1
shr eax,1
xor eax,ebx
jmp @e1
@n1:
shr eax,1
@e1:
dec edx
jnz @e0
stosd

inc ecx
cmp ecx,256
jb @s0
end;

So which one has the bug?

i want to learn assembly language..........
will u help me out please.........

Well done for the empty comparison! Do you want us to do it for you or what?

I had an orange once, it was orange and rough feeling.
Then I had an apple, it was green and shiny...

Each processor's assembler is different. For which processor do you wish to learn assembly?

[trojan_libido]

Seriously, the massive improvement in computer power along with moores law, and common sense should dictate you use the newest languages! We've already built generations 2, 3, 4 so why throw all that work away?

Reinventing the wheel.

C is a high programming language which is take much time to run a program than Assembly.
While Assembly language is low programming language which helps to the user to run a program fast as compare as C language.
Any any device there is a use of assembly language which can easily debug than high level language.

let alone the fact that you need to write compilers for c or c++ in assembly as well as the operating system itself
