Who generates op code? and does op code get converted into Binary?

[jeyshree]

hello,
in one of the book i read that opcode is the hexadecimal representation of source code given to a processor.who generates the opcode for the given source code?moreover a microprocessor can only understand '0' or '1'.so will the opcode again get converted into its binary equivalent?
thanks in advance.

Opcodes are created by the creators of the CPU. Yes, the opcode will be converted to binary.
