Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

What kind of computer program is used to convert mnemonic code to machine code?

A	Compiler
B	Assembler
C	Interpreter
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Compilers are a type of translator that support digital devices, primarily computers. The name compiler is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program.

Detailed explanation-2: -The assembler translates a code written in assembly language mnemonics and convert it into binary code. An interpreter is a program which executes the programming code directly instead of just translating it into another format. A compiler is a translator which converts high-level language into the low-level language.

Detailed explanation-3: -Assemblers. In order to convert assembly language into machine code it needs to be translated using an assembler . This converts each statement into the specific machine code needed for the hardware on which it is being run.
