    The document introduces assemblers, which translate assembly language statements into machine instructions and binary data. The assembler performs two main steps: first, it locates labels and establishes the relationship between symbolic names and addresses; second, it translates each assembly statement by combining opcodes, registers, and labels into a legal machine instruction. The assembler outputs an object file containing the instructions, data, and metadata. There are two types of assemblers - one-pass assemblers assume symbols are defined before use, while two-pass assemblers create a symbol table in the first pass then use it to generate code in the second pass. Several examples of assemblers are provided.

    INTRODUCTION TO ASSEMBLERS

    An assembler translates a file of assembly language statements into a file of binary machine instructions and binary data. The translation process has two major parts. The first step is to find memory locations with labels so the relationship between symbolic names and addresses is known when instructions are translated. The second step is to translate each assembly statement by combining the numeric equivalents of opcodes, register specifiers, and labels into a legal instruction. As shown, the assembler produces an output file, called an object file, which contains the machine instructions, data, and bookkeeping information

    The process that execute file.

    There are two types of passes in assembler to produce the executable program.
    One-pass assemblers go through the source code once and assume that all symbols will be defined before any instruction that references them.

    Two-pass assemblers create a table with all symbols and their values in the first pass, then use the table in a second pass to generate code. The assembler must at least be able to determine the length of each instruction on the first pass so that the addresses of symbols can
