Assembly language: It is a low-level programming language that uses symbols, variables, and functions that work directly with CPU.

High-level language: It is a human-friendly language that uses variables and functions, independent of the computer architecture.

Assembly language	High-level language
Programs written for one processor will not run on other types of processors.	The program runs independently on process type.
Performance and accuracy are better than high-level lang.	Performance & accuracy are lesser.
Executable code is less than high-level lang., takes less time to execute & program runs faster	Executable code is larger, takes a long time to execute.
Eg.: ARM, MIPS	Eg.: C, C++, JavaScript
