Assembly language offers huge advantages when it comes to reducing system requirements of a program. Any good C++ programmer would know that.
Reply:It depends upon what you hope it'll do for you. If you want to, say, learn C programming later, then YES, learning assembler will help - for example you'll have no problem in understanding pointers in C. However, if you want to program in Haskell or Prolog later, it's unlikely that learning assembler first will be of any use.
Reply:Unless you want to be a systems programmer you don't need assembler, although having learned it you will better understand what's happening when you write your programs.
