In computer programming, 1 is the presence of voltage, 0 is the lack of voltage. Thus, 1 is "on" and 0 is "off." In the interest of compacting more information into smaller spaces, bi-polar representations emerged. In a bi-polar format, a -1 is also considered "on." Since there can be no condition except presence of, or lack of voltage, then using symbols such as 20 will not work.
And, I'm not a whiz at computer components, but I believe it is the math processor (CPU) that determines the values of "on" or "off" and compiles the bits into bytes which it then compares to pre-determined responses.

Changing computer language of 1's and 0s to characters that a person can understand is?
decode
What are the differences between machine languages and high level languages?
Machine language is something which can be understood by machine(Computer), it can understand only 0 and 1 i.e. the binary code. High level language is something which can be understood by human beings.. for ex... english.
What language does the computer use and understand?
Dual system 1 and 0 It can also depend what you mean by computer, and how deep you want to go. You can make a "Computer" with wood and strings, as proven by the Jaquard Loom. Hardware is key, no matter how basic. So, in theory (i guess) the Basic Language would be how the computer...works! If you want to go to the very basics.
How 'pictures' can be converted into a language that computers understand?
Every thing a computer does is originated into Binary code with is a 1 or a 0 (on or off) and they are called bits that form into bytes like (101011001010). A Computer can understand anything and everything you are able to put in itself. The thing that matters is does it know where to put it and what to use the Data with. This is what applications, and device software is for.
What are computer language translators Define each?
computer language translators are programming tools that translate high level languages into the machine language. they include:1)assembler-translates assembly language into machine language. 2)compiler-translates the high level languages into the machine language.
If you type any data why the computer language are 1 or 0?
Computer's only understand binary, which is 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
Which language can computer easily understand and execute?
A computer doesn't actually understand any language, it just processes binary numbers.
What does computer understand?
Computer's understand binary, which is 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
What is 1 or 0 used in computer data is called?
The "1's and 0's" are referred to as binary. Binary is actually the only language a computer can understand. Everything else has to be translated to binary for it to understand it. 1 is conidered closed and 0 is open.
Changing computer language of 1's and 0s to characters that a person can understand is?
decode
Why is the system called binary?
binary number system used in computers because computer can understand only binary language as it starts from 0and 1. which makes computer easier.
Is binary numbers is the internal language of computer?
A computer only understand binary, which is 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
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

What does understand?
Computer's understand binary, which is 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
If you have natural number then why you use binary number in computer?
Humans understand natural numbers (1,2,3,etc) , but computers only understand binary (0,1). Computers only understand either 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
Where is a diode used in a computer?
At the power supply. A power supply is not a computer. in the very beginning diodes were used extensively to in computers since they conduct only in one direction logic decisions could be performed by diodes as gates of truth as '1' or '0' which all computer understand being machine language
