As computer understands binary language only so What is connection between electrical switches and computer?

A switch can either be on or off. Thus a switch is the most primitive method of representing a single binary digit (a bit). A single switch only has two possible states which we denote with the symbols 0 and 1. However an array of two switches has 4 possible states (00, 01, 10 and 11). These individual states are binary representations thus we can represent the state of an array of switches of any length using binary notation. In other words, we can use switches to represent digits. Thus any data that can be converted to some numerical representation can be represented digitally using nothing more than switches.
However, switches are just one way of representing binary digits in a computer. A computer's working memory (RAM) typically consists of a huge array of capacitors, each of which is paired with a transistor. The transistor is used to switch the state of the capacitor, either by filling it with an electric charge or emptying it of charge. Thus it acts very much like a switch, it is either on or off, a 1 or 0.
Any medium that can be used to differentiate between any two distinct states can be used to store binary data. Bar codes are simply a series of black and white stripes and are therefore a means of representing binary data which can be "read" optically. Magnetic medium can either be positively charged or negatively charged to produce an analogous electrical signal (the exact same signal that was used to create the polarity in the first place). Optical medium (laser discs, CD-ROM, DVD, etc) can either be pitted or not pitted by a laser (creating "pits" and "lands") which can be detected by another laser. A piece of card can have a hole punched at a specific position, allowing a pin to pass through and complete a circuit, creating a 1 bit. If there is no hole, the circuit remains open, creating a 0 bit. These are just a few simple examples of the many different ways we can store and retrieve binary data.

What language is built into the electrical circuitry of a computer?
Machine language
Why you need compiler?
You don't need if you don't want to develop computer programs. But if you want you should use it, for you can not make programs without a compiler. Compiler is the programs that makes the computer program out of the code
What does Binary code use to create a type of Morse code that the computer understands?
Binary code is the native language of the machine; no translation is necessary. However, the binary encoded data may be abstract, high-level instruction code (program source code) that must be compiled or interpreted in order to produce the required machine code the computer understands. A software program is used to perform this translation; each programming language provides its own compiler and/or interpreter specific to each machine type and operating system (the platform).
What language can a computer always understand?
I have only a vague understanding of your question, but I'll take it as "why computers can understand language". :P.- they don't-they only seem to cause it was written in their program.if it meant "what language computers understand",-programming language.-go search up wikipedia on this one.
Is FORTH a computer language?
Yes. Forth is a stack-based computer language.
What language is built into the electrical circuitry of a computer?
Machine language
What is the importance of the machine?
Machine language is what the computer hardware understands. Everything else has to be translated to machine language before it can be executed.
How keys are pressed on the keyboard iterpreted correctly by the computer?
The keyboard has a membrane underneath. When you press a key, it makes an electrical connection with the membrane. This generates a number for the computer to interpret according to it's language setting.
Why is data store in a computer in binary form?
because it is the only language a computer understands. The computer can only tell if a switch is on or off, and that is represented by a 1 or a 0
When you input to the computer anything than what is the computer processing?
When you input something, you are doing it in English or french or any preferred language but the computer just understands binary language. So, when we input something the computer is processing that piece of instruction into binary language and after that is sending you the output.
How does a computer understand the Filipinos language?
It doesn't. The only language the computer understands is its own native machine code; binary language. We use that binary language to program the computer such that it can translate the high-level human languages that we can understand into the low-level languages that it can understand, and vice versa.
What is binary language?
Binary is made up of 0's and 1's. Binary can also be called Machine Code. Binary is the 'language' that the computer understands.
The language that the CPU understands consisting of a sequence of bits is called?
machine language
How the computer can understand binary language?
The computer understands binary because the 1 means on and the 0 means off, so that controls how it operates. Binary language is then converted to our number system where the numbers represent things. ASCII code is used to convert binary to text.
Does computer performs controlling and understanding?
The computer controles the processes done at each process perdformed be it inputing data, turning on the computer where the bios will control the operating system. The computer understands in the sense that it has to understand the source code and interprete it into machine language (thus in binary form).
Which language can computer easily understand and execute?
A computer doesn't actually understand any language, it just processes binary numbers.
Why is language important to Mrs Flowers?
Mrs. Flowers understands the power of language to inspire and uplift others. She values language as a tool for self-expression, connection, and personal growth. By encouraging Maya Angelou to read and recite poetry, Mrs. Flowers helps her develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty and artistry of words.
