"[Assembly is] 1:1 representation of the binary instructions the CPU can interpret". 99% correct.

  Assembly is NOT a 1:1 representation of the binary instructions. It is for the 99% of a given assembly. Pseudo-instructions exist in most assemblers and they usually translate to several machine code instructions.

    Thanks for the correction. Do you have an example?

      Division and multiplication in some RISC processors, e.g. MIPS.
