How does a assembly 86 work?
In: Mathematics
x86 assembly is a language that represents byte code given to the CPU. Most people wouldn’t want to code in binary or hexadecimal directly so if you want to program at this level then assembly is the way to do that.
Higher level languages have complex compilers which convert code into byte code, but this can also be represented in assembly.

Write something super simple in a language you are familiar with and check out the assembly code.
For more on how this works I’ll suggest “Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach” by John Hennessy
