What are the Instructions that the processor understands?

programmingans. 2The instructions that a processor understands are known as the Instruction Set.The task of combining instructions to perform some task is known as programming. This is not necessarily done directly. Writing a program by specifying entities from the Instruction Set is called machine code programming if the instructions' numeric values are used, or Assembly Language programming if the instructions are called up by short names called mnemonics. These are both low level procedures, referred to by their users as 'working on the bare metal'.Most programming today is done using high level languages. Here the programmer writes instructions which are often close to english, where one instruction calls for something quite complex to be done. The processor does not understand these instructions. Another program, called an Interpreter or a Compiler, is used to translate the high level instructions into the (low level) ones from the Instruction Set which the processor does understand.
