1. The first problem is that the program in one pass involves forward references.
Some operands are used before they are defined and hence the assembler does not know what address to insert in the translated instruction.
2. We can list syntax errors like missing commas or parenthesis and semantic errors like duplicate definitions of symbols , other subtle errors can't be detected till pass2.

The translation performed by an assembler is essentially a collection of substitutions:
* machine operation code for mnemonic * machine address for symbolic * machine encoding of a number for its character representation, etc. Except for one factor these substitutions could all be performed in one sequential pass over source text.The factor is the forward reference(reference to an instruction which has not yet been scanned by assembler).
Now it's that the separate passes of two pass assemblers are required to handle forward references without restriction.
Now if we impose certain restriction that means handling forward references without making two passes. These different sets of restrictions lead to one pass assembler.
And these one-pass assembler are particularly attractive when secondary storage is either slow or missing entirely, as on many small machines.
Question - Implement a single pass assembler.

A C++ program will be able to be used for a single pass assembler program in C. This program can be used to write many different types of C++ programming.
The output of an assembler is a part or all of a product. An assembler can work in a variety of manufacturing operations with the right training.
Well, darling, to build a two pass assembler in assembly language, you better make sure it supports forward referencing. That way, on the first pass, it can gather all the symbols and their respective addresses, and on the second pass, it can actually generate the machine code. So, if you want that two pass assembler to work like a charm, forward referencing is the name of the game.
In the first pass of a two-pass assembler, it will "prepare" for the second pass, ie. it'll build the symbol table which is later used in the second pass to generate code.
what are the elements of assembly language programming?
I am not sure about the answer but think so, Assembler: Its a program that converts a low level language into machine code, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the source language statements and machine instructions Macro- Assembler: It performs the same task as does the assembler but there is some times a one-to-many correspondence between the source language statements and machine instructions. Please discuss further...
