Question

The elemental language of computers comprising a long sequence of binary zeros and ones (bits) is called _______
1. Machine language
2. Algorithm
3. Flow chart
4. High level Language
5. None of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Machine language

The correct answer is Machine Language.

• A machine language is a low-level programming language used to directly control a computer's Central Processing Unit.
• It comprises of a long sequence of binary zeroes and ones (bits). It is the only language a computer is capable of understanding.
• High-level languages such as Swift and C++ must be compiled into machine language before the code is run on a computer.
• Machine language is normally displayed in the hexadecimal form so that it is a little bit easier to read.
