I started with Motorolla 6802 when i was in college, we did a couple of projects on it and you cant just imagine how long is the assembly code just to put "Hello World" on it, we even interface a PS2 Keyboard and an LCD on it to make it look like a mini computer with a Parallel printer also interfaced on it. Then came Intel 8086 and 8088 now this is easier compared to Motorolla 6802 but still not easy to print "Hello World" on this chip using its assembly language.

Why don't you use embedded C language to program microcontroller. It is very easy and fast to develop. Now a days i have been learning embedded C and enjoying a lot. Do you know how to program 7 segment display and how 7 segment display works

ahhh mmm as i've said i used Motorolla 6802 and the Intel 8086 and 8088 as far as i know these micrprocessors dont support the C language but if you're saying they support then i might be wrong but i've never known someone who uses C on a Motorolla 6802 only assembly so i was just basing my information on it.

Embeded C might be interesting to done something. Neither CPU support C or any other language. You must compile source code with compiler to binary, than you can open it with assembler and edit if You want this. So this is purpose of programming language to be able to programming easiest and complicated things, what is very hard to do with assembler. I started with z80 CPU :)

I don't know about microcontroller programming. I know only programming. which was making a new program using a computer language. computer language such as C, C++, java, PHP, perl and many other computer language. i usually using c++ and java to create a program, i like work on it because i am a programmer.

Do you know how to generate music through programming in C++ or C. I know if you need it I can show you how.
