Later chapters discuss how software controls hardware, providing an in-depth look at the basic programming constructs in low-level languages like C and C++. Finally, readers are shown how the computer's compiler translates code into assembly language that can directly access the instruction set architecture.","brand":"Robert Plantz","offers":[{"title":"No Starch Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-10-15","offer_id":44663280926975,"sku":"9781718502741","price":78.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_587e5ec4-01d6-4508-94e3-24fbbfac0502.jpg?v=1704574395","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781718502741","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
