What type of computer language compares data stored in the computer’s memory using a sequence of logical operations?

Assembly
Java
COBOL
Python

The correct answer is: Assembly

Assembly is the correct answer because it is a low-level programming language that uses instructions written in mnemonic codes to directly communicate with the computer's hardware. This allows for direct comparison and manipulation of data stored in the computer's memory. Java, COBOL, and Python are all higher-level programming languages that use compiled or interpreted code to communicate with the computer's hardware. While they may have some logical operations built in, they require a middleman to execute these operations, making them less efficient for direct comparison of data in the computer's memory. Thus, they are not the best choice for this task.
