Question

What is the basic definition of machine language?

Answer 1

Machine Language :

• Machine language is the only language that is directly understood by the computer. It does not needs any translator programme. We also call it machine code and it is written as strings of 1 's (one) and O's (zero). When this sequence of codes is fed to the computer, it recognizes the codes and converts it in to electrical signals needed to run it. e.g., a programme instruction may look like this 1011000111101
• It is not an easy language for you to learn because of its difficult to understand. It is efficient for the computer but very inefficient for programmers. It is considered to the first generation language. It is also difficult to debug the programme written in this language.
