What does a machine language code look like?

Machine code, also known as machine language, is the elemental language of computers. It is read by the computer’s central processing unit (CPU), is composed of digital binary numbers and looks like a very long sequence of zeros and ones. Each CPU has its own specific machine language.

Is it true that machine language is the only language that a CPU understands?

Machine language gives instructions as 0’s and 1’s and is the only language that the computer understands. Assembly language is more concise but still very cumbersome when programming. A high-level language such as FORTRAN or C facilitates easy programming.

Where is machine language stored?

When programs are running the machine language, the code, is stored and executed from main system memory. The CPU fetches each instruction in turn and executes it. A special register called the Program Counter contains the address of the next instruction.

Is it easy to learn machine language if you already know basic?

BASIC is fairly easy to learn, but most beginners do not realize that machine language can also be easy. And, just as learning Italian goes faster if you already know Spanish, if a programmer already knows BASIC, much of this knowledge will make learning machine language easier. There are many similarities.

What is the difference between machine language and base language?

BASIC is a fine general-purpose tool, but it has its limitations. Machine language (often called assembly language) performs much faster. BASIC is fairly easy to learn, but most beginners do not realize that machine language can also be easy.

What is the motherboard of a computer?

The motherboard is also known as System Board, Mainboard, Mobo, Main Circuit Board, Planar Board, Logic Board, and Printed Wired Board (PWB) among other names. It is located at the bottom or on the side of the computer chassis depending on the type of desktop computer you have.

What is the difference between a motherboard and a logic board?

The logic board is very similar to a motherboard and operates the same way. However, because of size requirements with most logic boards, the components like the processor and RAM (in tablets and smartphones) are soldered onto the board.
