Machine language

A program is a list of instructions or statements for directing the computer to perform a required data processing task.There are various types of programming languages that one may write for a computer,but the computer can execute programs only when they are represented internally in binary form. programs written in any other language must be translated o the binary representation of instructions before they can executed by the computer.
binary code: this is a sequence of instructions and operands in binary that list the exact representation of instructions as they appear in computer memory.
octal or hexadecimal code: this is n equivalent translation of the binary code to octal or hexadecimal representation
