Binary code.

The 0's and 1's are grouped into 8, 16, 32 or 64, known as bytes.

Each byte can be recognised by the CPU as an instruction.

Writing a program using just these numerical commands is known as 'Machine Code'.

This is labourious and confusing to do from scratch, so other methods are used to write programs.

These higher level languages, allow programming in a more understandable language using words and descriptions, then converted into machine code, for final processing and including in an executable file.

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.


Is Basic a low level language or high level?

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.


An Evolution of Programming Software?

Programming software involves several concepts. They basically tell the computer what to do by controlling the flow of bits and bytes of the computer's most innermost instructional language. This basic language is normally called assembly language. It has divided computer instructions into a number of defined tasks, procedures and routines and has made symbols of them. These symbols, once recognized by the computer, embark the computer's activity toward completing the procedures they stand for."Coding procedures"is the task of programming software. Higher languages are formed to code the assembly language because assembly languages are impossible to read by all other than the uniquely initiated. These latter are higher-order engineers and scientists or mathematicians, able to extract ideas from the arcane symbols of assembly language, an utterly irregular and uncommon task.Higher order languages have a definite history. An early one was Fortran. During the computer language crisis of 2000, when it was thought the inner clocks of computers would be unable to cross the line into the year 2000, thousands of COBOL programmers were called to the fore in preparation for a gigantic computer meltdown.The meltdown did not occur and COBOL would remain an extant language.Early programming software was derived from the UNIX language that was made in Bell Research Labs. UNIX was adapted to control the early networks of main server computers in labs and universities. A web of client workstation computer terminals fed into the main servers.From UNIX, the C programming language was evolved. Early programs consisted of the more sophisticated C programming language rather than the language called BASIC. It was routines from BASIC drawn in BASIC code that gave Microsoft structures of its first disk operation system -- DOS.The early word-processing programs were made from the C programming language. It later evolved to include more "object"or "class"functions with the advent of the C++ programming language. Programming software now consists mainly of C++ programming language.As C advanced, or better, expanded to C++, the early BASIC language advanced to Microsoft's visual basic. C++ yet remained the most workable programming language for making programming software and C became essential to learn.


Why can not we execute a machine language program written for a computer made by Intel on a computer made by Apple?

Intel does not make computers, Intel makes computer chips and processors. Some computers made by Apple use an Intel processor, some use an IBM processor, and some older ones used a Motorola processor. Even earlier ones used a TI processor. That said, frequently machine language programs must be modified for a different computer. You would need to get the source code and run it through a compiler for your Apple. You might even need to modify the source code for a different computer made by the same company. If the machine language program makes calls to the memory instead to the operating system, it would need to be modified for every computer that uses it.


Why was visual basic made?

Visual basic was made to help ease the development of Windows applications. With it's easy to use language and environment, anyone can learn visual basic in a matter of time.


What do you understand by mnemonic code?

Ans. Mnemonic code:Machine language is the basic language of the computer but it is very difficult.Mnemonics:Assembly languages unlike machine language consist of short symbolic phrases understandable by people. These phrases are made up of alphanumeric symbols called mnemonics.Assembly language simplifies the programmer's job and makes it easy to find the errors. The programs written in assembly languages are efficient in their use, and run faster as they use fewer instructions.By Pro. MUHAMMAD SHOAIB BILALemail: Shoaibbilal64@Yahoo.comThanks!

Why would you use an interperter?

In computer science, an interpreter normally means a computer program that executes, i.e. performs, instructions written in a programming language. An interpreter may be a program that eitherexecutes the source code directlytranslates source code into some efficient intermediate representation (code) and immediately executes thisexplicitly executes stored precompiled code[1] made by a compiler which is part of the interpreter system
