title: How does an assembler work?
body: <p>I am looking for a brief description of the use of an assembler in producing machine code.</p>
  
  <p>So I know that assembly is a 1:1 translation of machine code. But I am getting confused about object code and linkers and how they place into it.</p>
  
  <p>I don't need a complex answer just a simple one will do fine</p>
