Key differences between Assembly and COBOL
Characteristic | Assembly | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Assembly uses low-level mnemonic codes and is highly dependent on the hardware architecture. | COBOL uses English-like syntax and is designed for business applications. |
Paradigm | Assembly is a low-level, procedural language. | COBOL is a high-level, procedural language. |
Typing | Assembly has weak typing. | COBOL has strong typing. |
Performance | Assembly provides high performance as it directly interacts with hardware. | COBOL provides moderate performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Assembly has limited libraries and frameworks. | COBOL has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for business applications. |
Community and support | Assembly has a small community and limited support. | COBOL has an active community and good support. |
Learning curve | Assembly has a steep learning curve due to its low-level nature. | COBOL has a moderate learning curve. |
