what is the difference between compiler and assembler
Hello student ,
Hello student
- Compiler is used to translate an high level programming language code to machine level code and to create an executable program. Assembler is used to translate an assembly level code to machine readable code.
- Compiler checks the error in the program and reports them. All errors are to be removed otherwise code will not be compiled and executed.Assembler too checks the correctness of each instruction and reports the diagnosis report.
- Compiler checks and converts the complete code at one time.Assembler generally does not convert complete code at one time.
- Examples for compilers are C , C++ ,JAVA COMPILERS. Examples for assemblers are GAS , GNU assemblers
Hi,
The difference between compiler and assembler is that a compiler is used to convert high-level programming language code into machine language code. On the other hand, an assembler converts assembly level language code into machine language code.
Both these terms are relevant in context to program execution. The compiler considers the entire code and one and converts it at the same time. Whereas, the assembler, converts the code line by line.
Hope it helps.
Hello,
Difference between Compiler and Assembler:
|
Compiler |
Assembler |
|
Compiler converts the source code written by the programmer to a machine level language. |
Assembler converts the assembly code into the machine code. |
|
Compiler input source code. |
Assembler input assembly language code. |
|
It converts the whole code into machine language at a time. |
But the Assembler can’t do this at once. |
|
A Compiler is more intelligent than an Assembler. |
But, an Assembler is less intelligent than a Compiler. |
|
The compilation phases are lexical analyzer, syntax analyzer, semantic analyzer, intermediate code generated, a code optimizer, code generator, and error handler |
Assembler makes two phases over the given input, first phase and the second phase. |
|
The output of compiler is a mnemonic version of machine code. |
The output of assembler is binary code. |
|
C, C++, Java, and C# are examples of compiled languages. |
GAS, GNU is an example of an assembler |
I hope this info help you!
