Machine Language & Programming Languages


What is Machine Language?

As you know, computers cannot think like humans and cannot understand words, so there is actually a very simple language that machines can understand, and we call this machine language.

Machine language is represented by 0 and 1, of course, 0 and 1 have a meaning for the machine, and this meaning is exactly as follows.
0 : No Electricity / Voltage / Current
1 : There is Electricity / Voltage / Current
Of course, computers can perform much more complex operations, and for that reason, they work with the binary system.

1 Piece of 0 or 1 = 1 Bit
8 Combinations of 1 and 0 = 1 Byte
16 Combinations of 0 and 1 = 1 Word



Programming Languages

The languages we use to give commands to the computer are called programming languages and programming languages are divided into 3 groups;
  1. Low-level languages: Machine languages.
  2. Mid-level languages: Languages that are a bit more advanced than machine language.
  3. High-level languages: Programming languages close to human language. In order for high-level languages to work, you need software called a compiler, which translates high-level languages into machine language.

Examples of low-level languages: Machine and Assembly language..
Examples of mid-level languages: C, C++, C#, Java and Python..
Examples of high-level languages: Pascal, Basic and Fortran..
Examples of very high-level languages: Visual Basic, VB.NET...
