Both, compiler and assembler, are software tools which translate instructions written in a programming language into executable machine code.
(Both will typically require additional tools, such as a linker, in the process.)
An assembler recognizes a machine-specific assembly language. This is a low-level language with a one-to-one relationship between language (assembly) instructions and machine code instructions.
A compiler recognizes a generally machine-independent language such as the C Programming language. These are higher level languages compared to the assembly languages, generally offering a one-to-many relationship between language instructions and expressions, and the resulting machine code instructions.

False. A compiler converts source code into object code.
A compiler and/or an assembler.
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.
No, a C program cant work without an interpreter or compiler or assembler as the code written in the program is not understood directly by the computer so it needs any of the above translator program to make the program understandable to the computer.-Shruti Jain
A linker takes the object files produced by the compiler and links them together to form a single machine code executable.
