ACI Differences

Assembler converts assembly language to machine code line-by-line, while an interpreter converts source code to machine code line-by-line and a compiler converts source code to machine code in one pass. An assembler detects errors after the first phase while an interpreter detects errors line-by-line, and a compiler provides a full error report after scanning the whole program. An assembler and interpreter are slower than a compiler.
