Machine code

Machine code is a computer programming language that is used to produce low-level code for a machine, typically a computer. It is a representation of instructions in a machine-readable form. Machine code is typically produced by a compiler from a higher-level programming language. It is not meant to be human-readable, but it can be read and understood by programmers who are familiar with the structure of the machine code. Machine code is made up of a series of numbers, typically in binary form, that represent the instructions for the machine. These instructions can be for the machine to perform a certain action, such as move data from one location to another, or they can be for the machine to perform a certain calculation. Machine code is very important to the functioning of a computer, as it is the only language that the computer can understand. When a program is written in a high-level language, it must be compiled into machine code before it can be run on a computer.
