Are you asking about an "interpreter"? That's part of a computer language that reads a line of code and breaks it down into machine code.
The Interpreter works with one source statement at a time, reading it, translating itto machine-level instructions, executing the resulting binary instructions, and then moving on to the next source statement.
Almost no real interpreters generate any machine code, they simply interpret the source code and directly do what it says using machine code built into the interpreter when it was originally written.
Machine code is generated by compilers, to permit repeated execution without having to reload the compiler each time (as one must with an interpreter).

Compiler
With a COMPILER,
Yes. A single high-level statement can generate one or more machine code instructions, sometimes in the order of several dozen instructions.
Compiling is the act of translating human-readable source code to machine-readable byte code.In Java, the compiler program is javac
An Assembler converts assembly language instructions into machine language.
A source code file is a plain-text file containing C++ instructions. The instructions must be compiled and linked to create a native machine code executable.
Is called machine code
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...
Obj code, or object code, refers to the binary output generated by a compiler or assembler after translating source code written in a programming language. This code is machine-readable and can be executed by a computer's processor. It typically consists of a sequence of instructions and data in a format specific to the target machine architecture. Obj code is often stored in files with extensions like .obj or .o and can be linked with other object files to create executable programs.
The source code of a PCOS (Programmable Control and Operations System) machine refers to the underlying programming that dictates how the machine operates and interacts with users and other systems. It includes algorithms, functions, and instructions that control the machine's hardware and software components. Understanding this code is essential for troubleshooting, modifying, or enhancing the machine's capabilities. Essentially, it serves as the blueprint for its functionality and performance.
Not really. You need some program to interpret your source code. There is the "assembler", but that can be thought of as a simpler version of a compiler - simpler, because the assembler basically just converts the source code instructions one-to-one to machine instructions.
