Detailed explanation-1: -In assembly language, we use predefined words called mnemonics. Binary code instructions in low-level language are replaced with mnemonics and operands in middle-level language. But the computer cannot understand mnemonics, so we use a translator called Assembler to translate mnemonics into machine language.
Detailed explanation-2: -A program called an assembler is used to convert the application program written in assembly language to machine language.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Assembler (a program) translates assembly code into machine code. Assembler language is just a more readable version of machine language (machine language in symbolic form instead of binary form). You write Assembly code; Assembler translates it into machine code; Control unit runs machine code.
Detailed explanation-4: -An assembler converts assembly language into machine language. A disassembler converts machine language into assembly.
