Assemblers and compilers are often used together.
An assembler can only do one thing: convert a high-level language like C++ into binary form for your computer's CPU.
You need another tool if you want your program to run at runtime or interact with other programs on your computer system..
Compiler: A compiler translates code from a high-level programming language (like Python, JavaScript or Go) into machine code before the program runs.
Interpreter: An interpreter translates code written in a high-level programming language into machine code line-by-line as the code runs..
Assembly language is a machine level language.
Machines can run them directly, so there is no need of any compilers or interpretors.
So assembly is neither compiled nor interpreted..
Many early compilers would also compile the higher level source listings into a machine-specific assembly listing, which would then be passed on to an assembler to generate the actual machine code..
A compiler is a tool that converts source code written in a high-level language into machine code that can be executed by a computer.
The opposite is called an assembler.
They are used to translate assembly language into machine code (or binary)..
The purpose of an assembler is to translate assembly language into object code.
Whereas compilers and interpreters generate many machine code instructions for each high-level instruction, assemblers create one machine code instruction for each assembly instruction..
Both compiler and interpreters do the same job which is converting higher level programming language to machine code.
However, a compiler will convert the code into machine code (create an exe) before program run.
Interpreters convert code into machine code when the program is run..
