Which program translates an assembly language program into a high-level language?

Answer 1

A High level language is a language like C, Pascal, Fortran. To convert, the easiest way is to use a compiler.

A compiler will take the instructions written in a high level language and convert them into machine code which is the specific instruction set for that type of computer. Assembly language is just a human readable form of a machine code which is how the designers of the computer instruction set made it work.

A disassembler will show the assembly language from machine code. But the compiler usually includes a lot of optimisations from a the high level language and will not often generate very simple assembly.

Answer 2

It is rare that a high level language would be translated into assembly language.

Generally, a high level language is compiled into machine code that can be read directly by a processor. Some are tokenized to reduce code size but are still largely in a high level format. Others are interpreted on the fly.

Assembly language is a programming language that can uses symbols which can be converted into machine code. Each assembly language instruction translates into one or a few machine codes but they are readable by users. There are very few occasions when a high level language would be changed into assembly language.

Answer 3

de-compiler. (Note: there are no de-compilers, in real life)

Answer 4

disassembler

Answer 5

Assembler.
