Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Compiler is a computer program that accepts the code written in a high-level language and converts that code into the assembly language.

Detailed explanation-5: -A high-level language requires an interpreter/ compiler for the process of conversion. We perform the conversion of an assembly language into a machine language. We perform the conversion of a high-level language into an assembly language and then into a machine-level language for the computer.
