Assemblers

Assemblers are programs that convert assembly language, a low-level programming language that is closely related to machine code, into executable machine code that a computer's processor can understand. Assembly language uses symbolic representations of numeric instructions, making it easier for humans to write code compared to binary. The assembler translates these symbols into the corresponding binary language, enabling the computer to perform specific tasks. Essentially, assemblers act as a bridge between human-friendly code and the machine’s native language, facilitating efficient programming and execution of instructions by computers.
