The hardware instruction set for a computer does not get a name. It is generally referred to as the machine language, machine interface, machine command set, or simply the instruction set for the machine. To make things more comfortable, instructions were assigned names and mnemonic symbols for the effects of executing an instruction. Some examples were ADD, SUB, JMP, CLR. When combined with memory address locations or names, register designations, and assembled with other such symbolic instructions, they became an assembly of instructions and it was called a symbolic assembly language, or just assembly language.

Among the first assembly languages was SAP (Symbolic Assembly Program or Share Assembly Language) for the IBM 704 computer.

The first attempt for a higher level language for programming was Univac Short Code and was used on the Univac I computer

What did the first computers look like?

According to me what I think is you can copy this below given Link in Address bar to know more about ENIAC (world's first computer with a Video Clipping)AnswerThe first ELECTRONIC computer (ENIAC) consisted of several rooms full of racks filled with vacuum tubes, wiring, and relays. You could walk down aisles "through" the computer which seems a strange concept given today's technology! It used a tremendous amount of electricity, generated a tremendous amount of heat, and had frequent failures. It is possible to argue that Charles Babbage's Difference Engine was perhaps the first computer (though it was mechanical not electronic, see: difference-enginePossibly the first successful programmable (by wiring), electronic, computer was the Colossus Computer built in Bletchley Parkcolossus-computerRoughly like the photo above of the recreation of the Atanasoff Berry Computer, the first electronic digital computer (it was not programmable). The first programmable electronic digital computers were significantly bigger.

What is difference between machine language and assembly language?

Machine language is the actual bits used to control the processor in the computer, usually viewed as a sequence of hexadecimal numbers (typically bytes). The processor reads these bits in from program memory, and the bits represent "instructions" as to what to do next.Thus machine language provides a way of entering instructions into a computer (whether through switches, punched tape, or a binary file).Assembly language is a more human readable view of machine language. Instead of representing the machine language as numbers, the instructions and registers are given names (typically abbreviated words, or mnemonics, eg ld means "load"). Unlike a high level language, assembler is very close to the machine language. The main abstractions (apart from the mnemonics) are the use of labels instead of fixed memory addresses, and comments.An assembly language program (ie a text file) is translated to machine language by an assembler. A disassemblerperforms the reverse function (although the comments and the names of labels will have been discarded in the assembler process).machine language faster than assembly language even than assembly language depend upon machine language

What is instruction set of computer?

The instruction set of a computer is the collection of commands that its Central Processing Unit (CPU) can carry out natively. These are the things that the processor inherently knows how to do if asked.
