Detailed explanation-1: -Assembly language may also be called symbolic machine code. Assembly code is converted into executable machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler. The conversion process is referred to as assembly, or assembling the source code.
Detailed explanation-2: -So all you have to do is identify each opcode in the assembly language, map it to the corresponding machine instruction, and write the machine instruction out to a file, along with its corresponding parameters (if any). You then repeat the process for each additional opcode in the source file.
Detailed explanation-3: -An assembler program translates an assembly language program (the source program) into a machine language program (the object program).
