Understanding CPU and Machine Language

The document explains the role of the central processing unit (CPU) in interpreting and executing commands from hardware and software. It discusses machine language as the only language understood by computers, which is derived from programming languages through compilation. Additionally, it highlights the advantages of binary language in computer systems, including its simplicity, efficiency, and resilience to electrical interference.

NUMBER SYSTEM

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)


The central processing unit (CPU) is the computer component that's responsible for interpreting and
executing most of the commands from the computer's other hardware and software.

MACHINE LANGUAGE
Sometimes called machine code or object code, machine language is a collection of binary digits or
bits that the computer reads and interprets. Machine language is the only language a computer can
understand.

The exact machine language for a program or action can differ by operating system. The specific
operating system dictates how a compiler writes a program or action into machine language.

Computer programs are written in one or more programming languages, like C++, Java, or Visual
Basic. A computer cannot directly understand the programming languages used to create computer
programs, so the program code must be compiled. Once a program's code is compiled, the computer
can understand it because the program's code is turned into machine language.

BINARY LANGUAGE

Why do computers use binary?


Binary is still the primary language for computers and used with electronics and computer hardware
for the following reasons.

It is a simple and elegant design.


Binary's 0 and 1 method is quick to detect an electrical signal's off (false) or on (true) state.
Having only two states placed far apart in an electrical signal makes it less susceptible to electrical
interference.
The positive and negative poles of magnetic media are quickly translated to binary.
Binary is the most efficient way to control logic circuits.
