Machine Code

The native language of the computer. In order for a program to run, it must be presented to the computer as binary-coded machine instructions that are specific to that CPU model or family. Although programmers are sometimes able to modify machine language in order to fix a running program, they do not create it. Machine language is created by programs called assemblers, compilers and interpreters, which convert the lines of programming code a human writes into the machine language the computer understands.
